Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon leaves
- 2 stalks Green onions, white and green parts
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 1 medium Avocado (peeled and pitted)
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions
Begin by washing and drying the fresh herbs thoroughly. Pat them dry to remove any excess moisture.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the parsley, cilantro, basil, tarragon, and green onions.
Add the garlic clove, avocado, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and apple cider vinegar to the blender.
Pour in the full-fat coconut milk. This ingredient provides creaminess to the dressing to replace dairy products.
Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper. If you're using the anchovy fillet for added flavor, add it to the blender now.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times to ensure all ingredients are well-incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed. You may add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your taste preferences.
Once smooth and seasoned to your liking, transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container.
Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Serve the Paleo Creamy Green Goddess Dressing over salads, as a dip, or a sauce. Enjoy your flavorful and healthy creation!
