Spring has sprung up like a green goddess…<\/p>\n
A month or so ago I ran across a Basil Green Goddess Dressing from Ina Garten aka the Barefoot Contessa. Yum Yum. Of course I had to make a few adjustments to the recipe – I just can’t help myself.<\/p>\n
This is a great recipe that is very versatile so you can take advantage of times when you have an over abundance of fresh green herbs – the recipe calls for a whole cup!<\/p>\n
Today, I decided to use the fresh tender sprigs of French Tarragon that is sprouting up rather than the basil called for in the recipe. I thought that other herbs could stand in for the Basil as well. A mix of herbs – oregano, chives, mint, fennel fronds are all possibilites.<\/p>\n
Here is the recipe:<\/p>\n
Tarragon Green Goddess Dressing<\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/2 cup mayonnaise …or better yet – half a large avocado Put all ingredients except the yogurt in a blender and whirl up until smooth. Whisk in the yogurt. Adjust seasoning with lemon juice, salt and pepper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spring has sprung up like a green goddess… A month or so ago I ran across a Basil Green Goddess Dressing from Ina Garten aka the Barefoot Contessa.
