Verdant Goddess Goodness
Green Goddess Dressing has been around for decades. It certainly wasn’t popular in the South when I grew up, but I see it in old cookbooks everywhere. The inspiration for this variation came from Dan Ackroyd of all people. Turns out the Blues Brother and Ghostbuster legend has a culinary calling as well. He was featured on the Martha Stewart show whipping up his “Green Goddess Dressing for Lamb”. Who knew?
A few tweaks here and there and WHOA – this stuff is amazing. I put it over Mahi Mahi with a little fresh tomato – delicious! Honestly though – it would be good on everything from veggies to poultry to grilled skirt steak (or maybe just with a spoon!) Eat up! bigcitybelle
Verdant Goddess Goodness
1 bunch scallions

1/2 c. olive oil
1/4 c. white wine vinegar
1/4 c. water
Juice of 1 lemon
Place pine nuts in a skillet over medium and toast until lightly browned and fragrant. Rough chop the scallions and remove the stems from the mint and cilantro (you don’t have to be too percise, just get the big ones). Place all ingredients in the food processor and blend until smooth.
