Embrace the vibrant flavors of nature with our Keto Green Goddess Dressing, a burst of freshness that will elevate your salads and grilled meats to new heights of deliciousness. Dive into a symphony of herbs, tangy citrus, and creamy avocado, all while staying true to your Keto lifestyle.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, packed
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, packed
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh tarragon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted

Instructions:

1. Gather the Green Goddess Ensemble:

Assemble your fresh herbs, carefully picking the leaves from their stems. Chop them finely so they blend seamlessly into the dressing.

2. Unveiling the Creaminess:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt or sour cream, mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Create a smooth and creamy emulsion.

3. The Star of the Show: Avocado Magic:

Peel and pit the avocado, slicing it into chunks. Add the avocado chunks to the creamy mixture and gently mash them until they blend harmoniously, creating a luscious green goddess dressing.

4. A Taste of Perfection:

Transfer the dressing to a serving bowl or jar. Allow the flavors to meld and deepen for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving. The longer it rests, the more magical it becomes!

5. Unleashing the Goddess’s Power:

Drizzle the Keto Green Goddess Dressing over your favorite salads, grilled chicken, fish, or roasted vegetables. Witness the transformation as ordinary dishes become extraordinary, bursting with flavor and vibrancy.

Tips and Tricks:

  • For a more vibrant color, use fresh, vibrant herbs. Wilted or dried herbs may compromise the dressing’s beauty and flavor.
  • If you prefer a tangier dressing, add a bit more lemon juice or vinegar. For a creamier texture, add more Greek yogurt or sour cream.
  • Make a larger batch of the dressing and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. It’s a versatile condiment that can add life to your meals throughout the week.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices to create your unique flavor combinations. The Green Goddess Dressing is a blank canvas, just waiting for your culinary creativity.
  • Serve the dressing at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
