The empress of cool, creamy dressings, green goddess is a California favorite that’s ideal for dipping veggies and dressing salads (such as this Sweet Baby Kale Salad). Traditionally made with mayonnaise, this better-for-you version gets its creamy texture from avocado and protein-rich Greek yogurt. Or, use almond yogurt for a paleo-friendly and dairy-free version. The delicate balance of fruit, herbs and spices creates a divine dressing that truly lives up to its royal name.
