I recently made this recipe for lunch and it was so good I had to film and video and post a blog. Creamy and tangy green goddess dressing smothered on tuna that’s spiked with sweet raisins and crunchy celery. The green goddess dressing has one whole avocado and some yogurt in there, which makes it really creamy and tangy.

How To Make Green Goddess Dressing

To be honest, this was my first time making green goddess dressing, it it was epic! I looked up a few recipes online and then put my own spin on it. The best parts of the dressing were the avocado and yogurt, they made from an uber creamy dressing.

the dressing recipe is crazy easy, just toss all the ingredients in a blender and then check for seasoning. A big handful of mixed herbs, I used parsley, dill, mint, and fennel tops from my garden. To make the dressing really creamy I added 1/2 cup of yogurt, watch the video to see one of my fave brands from the grocery store.

The rest of the dressing ingredients are lemon juice, capers, stone ground mustard, one garlic clove, realy good EVOO, salt, and pepper.

Blend it all up and check for seasoning. You may need more salt or lemon. The color of the dressing is brilliant!

Toss the tuna with most of the dressing, and then toss the cabbage and carrot slaw with the rest of the dressing and some more EVOO, lemon, salt, and pepper. Enjoy!
