This fresh and vibrant dressing is the perfect use for all the fresh herbs lingering in your fridge. Perfect for drizzling over salad, it can also be used as a sauce or dip with crackers, grilled meat and crudités.
The secret to its silky texture? Ripe avocado blended with fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil.

1 garlic cloves
1-2 spring onions
1 tbsp Pukara Estate Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt, according to taste
Method
Blend all the ingredients with a splash of water until combined.

Swaps, Serves & Storage
Do I have to use a mixture of herbs or can I just use one type?
You can use just one type of herb if you prefer. I’ve made this recipe just using parsley and coriander instead of a mixture and it’s just as delicious.
What can I serve this dressing with?
This dressing is perfect for a variety of salads or just a simple mixed leaf salad. It will continue to thicken in the fridge, so thin it down with a splash of water before drizzling.
What can I serve the Green Goddess dip with?
The dressing makes for a great dip! You can serve it with crudités, crackers, grilled fish or chicken.
Can I make this dip without a blender?
You can also make this dip in a food processor or using a mortar and pestle (which will require a bit of manual work).
How long can I store this dip/ dressing for?
You can store my vegan green dressing for up to 10 days in the fridge. The avocado will oxidise after a few days and the colour may darken slightly. Be sure to give it a rigorous stir before using.
Tips & Tricks
Avocados - use a semi-ripe avocado for a creamy texture. Be sure it’s not too ripe or the dressing won’t keep for as long in the fridge. I also use the avocado to make this recipe vegan, but if it isn’t in season or not available in your area, use 1/4 cup thick Greek yoghurt instead.
