Green Goddess
Easy Green Goddess Dressing (Plant-Based!) Ultra creamy, vibrant green goddess dressing that’s naturally plant-based and packed with flavor. 10 minutes, 1 blender, and 9 ingredients required! Perfect for salads, dipping vegetables, Buddha Bowls, and more!
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup tightly packed fresh parsley (loosely chopped before measuring)
- 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves (loosely chopped before measuring)
- 3 Tbsp loosely packed fresh chives (loosely chopped before measuring)
- 2 ½ Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1/3 cup water (plus more as needed)
- 2 large cloves garlic
- 1 tsp coconut aminos
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (optional // for earthier, more floral flavor)
Instructions:
- Soak cashews in very hot water for 15-20 minutes, then drain. This step is optional if you have a powerful blender (we find raw cashews blend well in high-speed blenders).
- To a small blender, add all ingredients and blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt to taste, lemon juice for acidity, or herbs for more herbal flavor. Coconut aminos enhance umami flavor / saltiness. If too thick, add slightly more water. If too thin or strong, add more cashews.
- Enjoy on salads, in bowls, or as a dip for raw or roasted veggies. Best when fresh. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge up to 3-4 days. Not freezer friendly.
