Satisfy your inner goddess with this simple green goddess dressing! With a ton of fresh herbs, tahini, lemon and garlic, this vegan dressing is great on salads or used as a dip!
After sharing 7 Basic Vinaigrette Recipes with you, I'm off to tackle salad dressings now! Starting off with my favorite first, because who can resist a herby-tangy-creamy-dreamy green goddess dressing that you are going to want to slather over pretty much everything?!
I initially tried this recipe with an avocado but actually preferred it with tahini instead. It's just creamy enough, with the perfect drizzling consistency.
Not only is it delicious, but it keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. After that, the fresh herbs start to deteriorate a bit.
Don't forget to pin this post to save it for later!
We love this green goddess dressing because

How to make it
You're going to start with a whole bunch of fresh herbs for this salad dressing. I used fresh parsley, chives and basil. ⅓ cup tightly packed of each.
- Combine white wine vinegar, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, maple syrup, salt and fresh herbs in a blender, or the cup that comes with an immersion blender
- Blend until smooth
- Enjoy immediately or store for up to 3 days!
That's it! So simple.
What does green goddess salad dressing taste like? This dressing is tangy, creamy, and herby. It tastes super fresh and packs a punch of tangy flavor!
What goes well with it? This dressing works well on a number of things!
- on a simple chopped salad
- on a kale salad (massage the kale first)
- on a caesar-type of salad
- spooned over roasted veggies
- as a dip served with veggies
Can I freeze it? I haven't tried but I suspect it wouldn't work well with the fresh herbs. They may discolor and lose their 'fresh' 'herby' flavors.
Tips & equipment
- I used my favorite immersion blender
, but a stand blender should work, too - I store my leftover herbs in this herb keeper to keep them fresh

I found this to be too sweet for my liking(and I cut it to 1&1/2 tb maple syrup). I like that the recipe didn’t use mayonnaise but I think in the future I would try a little bit of honey and omit the maple syrup.

Aww I'm sorry to hear this! We didn't find it sweet at all...were you using 100% maple syrup or was it table syrup? Just wondering if there is a difference in our maple syrups.

When you chop your parsley, do you use just leaves or stems as well?
Denise
Hi Vicki! You could use either or both...whatever you have!
