Fresh herbs are one of my favorite things to grow in the garden each summer. They grow quickly and are usually easy to maintain. I love having them on hand to throw into salads, sandwiches, hummus, drinks, and more. This dairy-free Green Goddess Dressing has to be one of the best ways to use them! It’s packed with flavor and perfect for all your summer salad needs. Let me know in the comments if you try it!

Why You’ll Love This Refreshing Summer Dressing

• Vibrant color – You’ll love the bright green color of this fresh Green Goddess dressing. It’s made with lots of fresh herbs, and I love that you can really tell that just by looking at it.
• Flavorful – This tahini-based dressing is anything but boring.  Each bite is packed with the flavors of fresh herbs, lemon juice, and garlic. It is also easy to customize based on your favorite herbs.
• Versatile – My dairy-free green goddess dressing can be used in many ways. I like to have it on hand for summer salads, but it can also be used as a sandwich or wrap spread, a marinade for tofu or fish, and can even be tossed into pasta salad for a fresh and flavorful dressing.

Why Your Body Will Love This Healthy Salad Dressing

• Fresh Herbs – Fresh herbs can help support the immune system in many ways. They’re packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which help fight disease by combating harmful free radicals. Herbs like mint, parsley, and dill can also help stimulate the appetite and aid the digestive process. 
• Tahini – Tahini is a paste made from sesame seeds, perfect for dressings and sauce recipes. It’s a great source of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. Although tahini contains a small amount of saturated fat, most of its fats are polyunsaturated (omega-6 fatty acids) and monounsaturated, which is great for overall health.

Green Goddess Dressing Recipe Ingredients

• Tahini – I love using tahini in my salad dressings because it adds creaminess without adding any dairy. It’s a great base for this recipe and goes well with all of the fresh herbs.
• Vinegar – I like to add a little bit of red wine vinegar to this recipe. It pairs well with lemon juice, adding a bit more depth of flavor.
• Lemon Juice – Fresh lemon juice is a must in almost all of my salad dressings. It really brightens everything up, and I tend to always have them on hand.
• Garlic – I prefer using fresh garlic for this recipe over store-bought minced garlic. You can add as much or as little garlic as you like. Granulated garlic can also be used, if you prefer.
• Fresh Herbs – For my green goddess dressing recipe, I used a mixture of basil, parsley, mint, green onion, and dill. You can use any fresh herbs you like, though. Leave out the ones you don’t care for and add extra of the ones you enjoy.

How To Make Dairy-Free Green Goddess Dressing

1. Add all the dressing ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend on high speed until creamy and smooth, about 1 minute. Dressing should be light green in color.  Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed, and add extra lemon juice or water if necessary to thin it out. 
2. Green goddess dressing should be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Dressing is freshest if enjoyed within a week. Use this dressing on salads, sandwiches, wraps, pasta, and more.
