Vegan Green Goddess Dressing

May 5, 2021
If you’ve ever had Green Goddess Dressing at a restaurant, you know how addictive the herb-filled, savory, and slightly tangy salad dressing can be.

Traditional versions of this dressing often contain mayonnaise, sour cream, anchovies, and other animal products which add unnecessary heaviness to what should be a light and flavorful dressing. This recipe, however, uses NO oil, a variety of fresh herbs, cashews, garlic, and white wine vinegar to create a complex flavor that is out of this world! Drizzle this dressing on salads, use as a marinade, or sandwich spread. Happy eating!
