Simple green goddess dressing

I saw a simpler version of green goddess dressing on a wedge salad in Atlanta. It was bright, garlic-forward, and herbal (but not emulsified). This is my version of it.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup fresh herbs (flat-leaf parsley, tarragon, chives)
  • 200 ml neutral (or nice olive) oil
  • 80 ml lemon juice
  • 25 ml white vinegar (or white wine)
  • 25 ml honey or maple syrup
  • 12 g garlic (2–3 cloves), minced
  • 15 ml Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 whole anchovy fillets or a pinch of MSG (optional)
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Combine everything in a sealable container. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Refrigerate for at least 6 hours; 24 is better.

Blend until smooth, if you like.

Notes

  • So far I’ve made it with flat-leaf parsley as the herb and MSG as the savoury boost; both work well.
