The classic Green Goddess dressing has a hint of anchovy for umami, but if you want to leave it out, you can. Top with cooked chicken or ham for a main course salad, or serve alongside grilled shrimp. Double the amounts in the dressing ingredients to make extra for salads throughout the week! Serves 4. Prep time: 20 minutes.
INGREDIENTS
1 clove garlic
1 small anchovy (optional)
½ cup lightly packed fresh parsley
2 medium scallions, white and green parts separated
½ teaspoon dried tarragon

½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 ounces baby spinach, washed and dried
1 medium cucumber, peeled and sliced
1 medium avocado, sliced
PREPARATION
- In the food processor, combine the garlic, anchovy (if using), parsley and the white parts of the scallions. Process to mince very finely. Scrape down and process again.
