Vegan Green Goddess Dressing is delicious on vegetables and salads as a dip or sauce. It’s easy to make in your blender and is oil-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free.

I was always intrigued by Green Goddess dressing because of its vibrant color.

But unfortunately I discovered that the classic version contains dairy, eggs and anchovies!

However, after figuring out how to make a vegan Ranch dressing, I decided to tackle a Green Goddess makeover as well.

While some versions of Vegan Green Goddess Dressing contain avocado, I decided to stay true to the original and use fresh chives, parsley, and tarragon to make it green.

And instead of mayonnaise base, I decided to use cashews and a vegan “buttermilk” made from non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar.

I learned this method for making “buttermilk” from watching The Sexy Vegan make mashed potatoes.

All you have to do is stir a little apple cider vinegar into your milk of choice (I prefer soy), and it will curdle like buttermilk!

In addition, miso paste takes the place of anchovies in this Vegan Green Goddess Dressing.

I used white miso paste, but you could also use yellow. And if you prefer a soy-free dressing, you can use chickpea miso instead. You’ll find all these versions in the refrigerated section of specialty and Asian markets.

Besides dipping raw vegetables in Green Goddess, it’s great on dishes such as Buffalo Califlower Bites Salad and Butternut Squash Buddha Bowls.

And it’s so easy, you can make it whenever you want in only a few minutes!

All you do is blend the ingredients and refrigerate the dressing until you’re ready to enjoy it.

Now let’s make Vegan Green Goddess Dressing!
