Green Goddess Dressing

If you like "Old School", this is it.  I believe this dressing was concocted in the early 1920's.....now that is kickin' it old school!  It's a very versatile dip or dressing with a big punch of flavour. 

I've made this over the years but I think I've finally nailed it  Not all classic ingredients but certainly good ingredients.  Drizzled over freshly sliced tomatoes, slathered on a tomato sandwich, dripped over steamed asparagus  or tossed with baby potatoes and chilled are my favourite ways to use this dressing.  A great way to use your herbs from your garden.

It's got a summer vibe and an awesome name! There's something classical about it really....throw on some jazz and whip up a Martini or Mint Julep!  Too far?  Nahhh....

It's just so peerrrrty....
