The secret to its silky texture? Ripe avocado blended with fresh lemon juice and premium olive oil.
Ingredients for my Vegan Green Goddess dressing -
The best part about this dip is that you can use any herbs and it will taste delicious. For this recipe I’ve used coriander, parsley and mint, but feel free to use basil, dill, chives or any other herbs,
Avocado adds a lovely creaminess, while garlic, spring onions and jalapeños add a gentle heat. Fresh lemon juice and good quality virgin olive oil have the two-fold benefit of helping the mixture blend easily while adding layers of zest and brightness that make this vegan green goddess dressing incredible.
How do I serve this dressing?
The beauty of this dressing lies in its versatility - it doubles perfectly as a dip. Just blend until smooth and skip the water addition to maintain a thicker consistency. It will firm up even more once chilled in the refrigerator.

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.
