Ingredients For Vegan Green Goddess Dressing
- Plan Vegan Greek Yogurt- thickens the salad dressing.
- Apple Cider Vinegar - this gives the dressing a little tanginess.
- Olive Oil - I use extra virgin olive oil with a mild flavor.
- Green Onion - cut off the white root and use the rest.
- Parsley- Use fresh parsley in this recipe.
- Basil - Use basil that is fresh in this recipe
- Lemon Juice- For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice.
How To Make Green Goddess Dressing
The process is very simple, it only takes a few steps. Besides adding the yogurt first the vegan green goddess dressing will turn out the same no matter what order you add the rest of the ingredients. Just remember in a simple dressing recipe like this, each ingredient counts so make sure your ingredients are fresh and of good quality.
First, roughly chop the green onions, parsley, and basil this step will assure everything gets nicely chopped up in the food processor.
Then add the vegan greek yogurt first to the food processor followed by the chopped green onions, parsley, basil, and apple cider vinegar.
Use a garlic press to press garlic into the food processor. If you don't have a garlic press you could use a Microplane grater or mince the garlic very well with a knife. Add in the olive oil and squeeze the juice from half a lemon on top of the other ingredients in the food processor.
Pulse several times to begin to blend. Scrape the sides of the food processor and pulse a few more times. You may need to scrape the sides again and pulse a few more times until all ingredients are well blended and smooth.
Transfer homemade vegan green goddess dressing into a spouted serving container for drizzling or transfer it to a glass jar with a lid. Keep this dressing in the refrigerator.
