This classic, creamy savory salad dressing was dreamed up in the 1920s by a chef at San Francisco’s Palace Hotel for actor George Arliss, who was at the time starring in a play called, you guessed it, Green Goddess.
Doubling as both a dressing and a dip, drizzle green goddess dressing over salad, veggies, and pasta. Or serve as a sumptuous dip with crudité or add to sandwiches instead of mayonnaise.
