Prep Time10 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
Course: Condiments, Dips/Spreads, Dressings, Sauce
Cuisine: American, California, Mediterranean
Keyword: anti-inflammatory, green goddess, herbs
Servings: 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic roughly chopped
  • 1 stalk green onion green and white part rough chopped
  • 1 lemon, juiced about 2 tablespoons of juice
  • 1 large California avocado chopped
  • 1 cup Italian flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems
  • ¼ cup basil leaves only
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • water 1 tablespoon at a time as needed to thin out the consistency

Instructions

  • Let the chopped garlic clove and green onion sit in 2 tablespoons lemon juice for ~ 10 minutes. You can do this in a small bowl, or in the bottom of your food processor or blender. After 10 minutes, add them to the food processor or blender.
  • Add the avocado, 1 cup of parsley leaves, ¼ cup of basil, 2 tablespoons of dill, and ¾ teaspoon of salt to the food processor or blender. Blend until the avocado and herbs are well combined, though it won't be smooth yet. You will need turn off the food processor every once in while to push the herbs down the side of the bowl with a small spatula or spoon.
  • With the machine running, drizzle in olive oil until the mixture is smooth. Stop the machine and taste for saltiness and add more salt if needed. Avocado Green Goddess should taste a little saltier than you're comfortable with since it will be used as a dressing or dip.
  • If the mixture is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time to the consistency you like.
  • Transfer the Avocado Green Goddess to a container for serving or storage. It will be delicious immediately, but if you let the dressing sit and relax for about 30 minutes, the flavors will mellow out. I don't know the science behind this, it just works.
