Green Goddess Dressing

by Candace Sampson

My friend Anita tries to pretend she’s not all that and a bag of chips in the kitchen, but I know differently. The girl jars her own salsa for Pete’s sake! One day she served me this dressing with a green salad. I almost licked the bowl. It’s also delicious as a dip for fresh vegetables.

Green Goddess Dressing

1 anchovy fillet* (or 1 tsp/5ml anchovy paste), optional
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp dried tarragon (optional)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

*if you use the anchovy, soak it in cold water for a few minutes, pat dry then chop finely

Pulse all ingredients together in food processor until smooth. Keep refrigerated and use within a day or two.
