Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Fresh chives
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 pieces Anchovy fillets (optional)
- 1 piece Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1-2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh chives, parsley, and tarragon under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Peel the garlic clove and set it aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chives, parsley, tarragon, lemon juice, olive oil, anchovy fillets (if using), garlic clove, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
If the dressing is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend again until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if desired.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the Green Goddess Chive Dressing over salads, as a dip for veggies, or as a sauce for grilled chicken or fish. Enjoy!
