Green Goddess Dipping Sauce (Dressing with Yogurt)

Super delicious, this green goddess dipping sauce/dressing with yogurt is perfect for dipping vegetables in or enjoying over salads!

A few years ago my sibling-in-laws and I went to a supper club here in Milwaukee. Supper clubs are big in Wisconsin. Think Mad Men style dining – leather booths, old school charm, it’s truly like stepping back in time for a dining experience. The one we went to started the meal by serving a relish tray. It came with a green goddess dressing (something I had heard was a thing of the 60’s) and an array of vegetables for dipping. Radishes were among the vegetables, and since I hadn’t had them since I was a kid, I decided to just try one. OMG so friggin good – the tangy crunchy radish dipped in the green goddess dressing – it was one of the best combinations. I was hooked, I knew I needed more radishes and dip in my life. I’m so in love with radishes and now get them at the farmers market on the weekends, I made these slow roasted chicken tacos with radish slaw and am planning to make another batch for the week ahead!

We went back to the supper club a few weeks later and they brought out the same relish tray with green goddess dressing. Again, I was in love with it. The server mentioned that it had anchovies, lemon and fresh herbs in it.

This green goddess dipping sauce dressing made with yogurt is the best ever

Anchovies? Eeek, I don’t think I’ve ever liked them, but hello – Caesar salad dressing, I love the stuff! It was so delicious, so I thought I was going to try and recreate the dressing at home. I went to the store and right next the anchovies I found anchovy paste <-something I’d never ever in a million years thought I’d use. Paste seemed a lot more manageable than say, cutting up little anchovies, you know?

I came home and put the ingredients I thought were in the dip into a food processor (I use this one) and processed away, the end result was amazing! This recipe is my take on recreating the dipping sauce I had, so I’m not sure how it varies from what I actually had at the restaurant, all I can tell you is that this dipping sauce/dressing is soooo good!

Green goddess dressing was supposedly created by a chef at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco in the early 1920s to honor the actor George Arliss and his hit play, The Green Goddess. It’s a variation of sauce verte (green sauce), a French mayonnaise-based sauce made with chopped fresh herbs.

The perfect green goddess dipping sauce dressing made with yogurt for any day

I’ve served this green goddess dipping sauce/dressing with yogurt at girls nights, brought it over to friends’ houses, made it just to have on hand in the house – every time I serve it people want the recipe, so today I’m sharing how I make green goddess dressing with yogurt. It goes great with fresh veggies and is great for a summertime dip!

Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes minutes
Servings: 1 cup dip

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons light mayo
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 tablespoon anchovy paste
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a food processor, pulsate for 10 seconds or until you see the mix coming together and the herbs have been chopped.
  • Check the dip for thickness liking. I like my dip a little on the drippy side so that I can use it as a salad dressing too, but if you like it thicker, add in an extra tablespoon or two of mayonnaise.
  • Serve with chopped up vegetables or use as a salad dressing

    Hi ! I’m not a fan of cilantro and was wondering if this could be left out? Or if there would be a good substitute to use instead?

      Hi Deb, that’s a great question! Yes, you can definitely leave out cilantro – in its place I would add a little extra parsley and some green onions 🙂

      Supper clubs are so cool – I’m totally going to have to google if they’re just a Wisconsin thing, it’s not just you, I don’t know either lol. And this dip-omg it’s so good I could eat it every day!

    That place sounds like so much fun!! I do like the taste of anchovies in things, but I just can’t handle the way they look whole in those cans. Paste is definitely the safer option; This dip sounds so good, I will definitely need to give it a try!

    Uhm this dip. sounds. amazing. And I love the idea of doing a Mad Men style Supper Club! We have a lot of speakeasy themed things out here but I feel like they need to skip ahead a few decades and bring us into mid-century style 😉 Gorgeous process shots btw! 🙂

      The supper clubs around here are definitely old school – it’s like a stepping back in time when one goes to one, it’s very neat! Thank you so much for your lovely compliment 🙂

With end of school and life business, May was actu With end of school and life business, May was actually a slower reading/listening month than I’ve had in a while. I read/listened to 4 books this month, and they were all romancy books 💕
Meet Me At The Lake - 5/5. I loved Carley Fortunes first book Every Summer After (one my favorites ever) and her next book did not disappoint. I liked it a smidge less than her first one, but it was an all around good book!
Yours Truly - 4/5. If you’ve ever had anxiety, this book does a great job of having characters with crippling anxiety and describes it well. I did feel like some of this was very repetitive and just wanted the story to move a little faster. And have the good parts be a little longer.
Romantic Comedy - 3.5/5. This book got a TON of hype and tbh I’m not quite sure it lived up to it, it didn’t for me. It was just ok!
The Spanish Love Deception - 4/5 – I thought this was super cute, but again, a little too long to get to the good part of the story, I had to skip a few beginning chapters, but overall cute!
