The Ultimate Green Goddess Sauce

The Ultimate Green Goddess Sauce is a creamy, herb-packed delight that elevates any dish. Made with fresh basil, parsley, chives, and a hint of tarragon, this vibrant green sauce is perfect for drizzling over salads, bowls, or dipping roasted veggies. The addition of avocado gives it extra creaminess, while the Greek yogurt offers a tangy base. Customize the flavor by adjusting the herbs and lemon juice to your taste.

Quick tip: Add avocado for an even richer texture, or leave it out for a lighter version.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup fresh parsley
2 tbsp fresh chives
1 tbsp fresh tarragon (or more parsley if unavailable)

2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
