Green Goddess Dressing

The first time I tasted Green Goddess I understood why Goddess was part of the name. The dressing was so creamy and rich, yet vibrant that I couldn't get enough. Green Goddess contains a lot of things that are not WFPB including anchovies. I was able to recreate a WFPB version of this dressing that is even more delicious than the original!

  • Add all ingredients to the blender and blend on low until creamy. If using nori instead of hijiki you can add it at this time with the lemon juice.
  • Add the hijiki and lemon juice and blend until the hijiki appears like black pepper flakes in the dressing.

Notes

This is a Snap Pea Sheep recipe
 
Replacing the anchovies is easy. Hijiki is a seaweed that once hydrated has a very fishy flavor. The addition of the olives gives the dressing that brininess of the anchovies in this recipe.
Castelveltrano olives are a beautiful bright green and have a mellow flavor unlike any other olive. They are difficult to find pitted but rather common in most stores. 
Trader Joe's has a canned pitted green olive that is good too.
