Description

This Vegan Green Goddess Dressing is our homemade copycat of Trader Joe’s popular store-bought version! It’s packed with loads of fresh herbs, is easy to make, and is perfect for weekly meal prep. Use this versatile dressing on your favorite salads, sandwiches, wraps, buddha bowls, and more. 


Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripe avocado (we used Fuerte)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup packed basil leaves
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons white onion
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 1 large clove garlic, peeled
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until it reaches your desired consistency. We prefer ours smooth but a chunky dressing would work as well. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Notes

  • This recipe is intended to replicate the avocado-based green goddess dressing from Trader Joe’s. If you would like to make this more like the “classic” green goddess dressing (from the 20’s) we suggest using 2 tablespoons tarragon instead of the 1/3 cup basil, adding in 1 teaspoon of capers, and adding 1/4 cup of vegan mayonnaise OR plain vegan yogurt. Blend this and add more water as needed to thin.
