11 Dishes to Dress With Creamy Green Goddess

Vibrant green goddess dressing adds a creamy, earthy element to these salads and entrees.

Call it nostalgic, retro, or classic, green goddess is one of America's most beloved salad dressings. The blend of herbs, lemon, mayonnaise, sour cream, and often anchovies was developed by chef Philip Roemer at San Francisco's Palace Hotel for the actor George Arliss, who was a hotel guest starring in the popular 1920s play The Green Goddess. Here, traditional and adapted versions of green goddess brighten salads, grilled seafood, spicy meatballs, and herbaceous turkey burgers. Serve this signature herby and creamy dressing with these stunning dishes.
