Invented in the 1920s at San Francisco’s Palace Hotel, Green Goddess dressing has become a staple in the lore of American salads. Our version, with tangy fat-free yogurt, contains all the traditional fresh herbs that give the dressing its vibrant green colour and bracing taste. It pairs perfectly for the salad that contains a fresh mix of fresh spinach, romaine lettuce, watercress, carrots, cucumbers, carrots, and sweet red peppers. Double the amount of dressing and refrigerate half for up to 3 days to use for a chicken or seafood salad later in the week.
