The Green Goddess Dressing was first developed in the early 1920s at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco after a guest who starred in the play ‘The Green Goddess.’
Over the years this dressing has taken on various iterations, many now including avocado, but this recipe is based on the classic which contains mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, anchovy, tarragon, lemon juice, and pepper but with my keto twist.
This keto-friendly dressing is delicious drizzled over fish, on a chicken salad or fresh green leaves. My particular favourite is folded into this Green Keto Crab Salad. It’s so good I had to create a separate recipe for it.
