Green Goddess Salad Dressing
This is my new favourite salad dressing! While most store-bought versions rely on heavy fats, this plant-based version gets part of its creaminess from tangy vegan yogurt. This keeps it light yet satisfying with less mayo and minimal oil. It’s also packed with fresh herbs for a zesty kick, and you can easily swap in whatever you have on hand. I especially love it drizzled over leafy salads, spooned onto nourish bowls, or served as a dip for roasted veggies. Healthy, flexible, and full of flavour, it’s definitely a keeper.Servings

Directions
- Add all the ingredients to a small food processor or blender.
- Blend until smooth. Taste test and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Pour the dressing over your favourite salad or nourish bowl, and enjoy!
Notes
- †For us, 1 lemon yielded about 2 Tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice.
- †White miso, also called "Shiro Miso," is fermented for less time than red miso, which gives it a milder, sweeter flavour. If substituting red miso, use a smaller amount and adjust to taste, as red miso is saltier and stronger.
Storage
- Store well-sealed in the fridge for up to 3 days.

This is my new favorite dressing. It is so addictive. Thank you for de recipe!
This is the absolute best dressing for a salad you can imagine. I have this about once a week and every time I gush about how amazing it is.
Very nice. I’ll probably add nutritional yeast next time.
Se ve bien pero debo prepararla para comprobarla
I substituted 2% Greek yogurt in lieu of vegan yogurt and cottage cheese in lieu of vegan mayo. Really tasty, zesty dressing. Dipped some veg in it - yum!
Fantastic 10/10 new fav dressing!
So clean and fresh! We had it with summer rolls, on salads, and just as a veggie dip.
Perfect dressing, for wraps or with baked potatoes.
Amazing! Would definitely recommend
This dressing is AMAZING. I've made it 3 times in the last 2.5 weeks and find myself eating a lot more vegetables. I made the second and third batches without the maple syrup and preferred that because i love savory. Delicious! Thank you!
Excellent
