Green Goddess dressings, dips, and bowls are incredibly popular among the meal prepping and wellness communities – and for good reason! It’s super simple to make it at home, and it’s full of good-for-you, real food instead of additives and artificial ingredients. Plus the bright, fresh flavor is too tasty to pass up.

This recipe used to live within my Green Goddess Power Bowls post, but I decided to give it a spotlight of it’s own because it’s delicious on it’s own annnnnd because I’m working on a sauce roundup that you’re going to love!

serve it with:

Ingredients and Substitutions

Here’s what you’ll need to recreate this Green Goddess Dressing recipe at home!

  • Tahini – Store-bought or homemade tahini work great here! If you can’t find it or don’t want to buy it, other nut butters like almond or peanut butter would work too. It helps to thicken up the dressing and balances out some of the acidity of the other ingredients.
  • Fresh herbs – For my green goddess dressing, I went with fresh basil, parsley, dill, and cilantro. I think they’re all essential for getting the right balance of flavor, just be careful not to use too much basil since it can quickly overwhelm the others!
  • Green onions – Even more green herbiness, but this time with a bit more punch than some of the herbs.
  • Dijon mustard – Brings a little bit of umami to the dressing, adding a depth of flavor that you need. Don’t skip or substitute this one.
  • Honey – A little sweetness helps balance out all the bright and acidic flavors.
  • Garlic – Another ingredient that you need to be careful not to go overboard on – you really don’t need more than 1 clove, I promise!
  • Capers – Kind of an optional ingredients, but I love the brininess that capers bring to the dressing, and maybe another touch of umami? Skip them if you must, but I don’t recommend it 😉
  • Lemon juice – Brings more than just acidity to this recipe, I love the flavor of lemon paired up with fresh herbs.
  • Apple cider vinegar – This might seem like overkill when you already have lemon juice in the recipe, but after playing around and testing it out, I found that I really like having both. Each one brings a unique flavor to the party, and I love having them both.

What’s Tahini?

Tahini is pretty much just ground up sesame seeds and some oil that come together in a peanut-butter-like consistency. Just add lightly toasted sesame seeds, a touch of olive oil, and salt and let your blender do its thang. It will take a while, but just be patient for them to fully blend. Check out this video to watch it come together.

Once you’ve made a batch you can use it for making hummus, dressings, other veggie dips, and so much more. Keep it sealed up in an airtight jar in the fridge and it will last for up to 6 months!
