Clean Eating Green Goddess Dressing Recipe

By

This green goddess dressing recipe is fresh, delicious, a goes super well with any green salad you care to put it on.

If you’ve ever purchased the Greed Goddess dressing from Trader Joe’s, you’ll know exactly what this is. It’s pure, green deliciousness in a bottle. Made with lots of herbs and avocado, it’s a wonderful homemade dressing for many salads. Particularly in the warmer months of the year (although it’s yummy any time of year!)

A beautiful bowl of salad sits towards the back of the table with a full dressing bottle and a small, white pitcher sit filled with this clean eating green goddess dressing recipe.

WHO CREATED GREEN GODDESS DRESSING?

According to American Food Roots:

This famous salad dressing was created in the kitchens of San Francisco’s Palace Hotel. Chef Philip Roemer is said to have invented the dressing in 1923 to honor actor George Arliss, who stayed at the hotel while performing in William Archer’s hit play, “The Green Goddess.”

WHAT IS GREEN GODDESS DRESSING MADE OF?

Greed Goddess Dressing is traditionally made with mayonnaise, sour cream, anchovy, fresh herbs and lemon juice along with some black pepper. But I wanted to remake what they sell at Trader Joe’s, so my ingredients do not include the mayo, sour cream or anchovy. The recipe below uses avocados, fresh herbs, lemon juice and pepper. It’s totally delicious and very, very close to the Trader Joe’s version.

And overhead view looking down into the bowl of salad with carrots, tomatoes and cucumbers. A clear glass bottle and small white pitcher both sit in front of the bowl filled with this clean eating green goddess dressing recipe.

HEALTHY GREEN GODDESS DRESSING:

You could certainly enjoy the traditional version in small portions and keep it somewhat on the healthier side. But I find that all that mayo and sour cream along with anchovies don’t really fit my definition of healthy these days.

I realize that goes against the current, fat-loving trend of the keto diet that is currently all the rage. But all I know is how much better I feel since giving up that way of eating. You can certainly add those things to this recipe if you prefer by switching out the avocados for equal portions of mayo and sour cream if that is your preference.

VEGAN GREEN GODDESS DRESSING:

This recipe is vegan but it’s tough to tell the difference once it’s mixed into a salad. This dressing delivers all the flavor without the high fat or cholesterol. Give it a try!

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev
