Ingredient Info
- Basil – This is where the flavor comes in! Make sure you use fresh basil, not dried basil.
- Baby Spinach – This is what will give the Green Goddess Dressing that lovely color.
- Chives – Great for a little extra onion flavor in the dressing. If you don’t have chives you can use green onion instead.
- Garlic – Highly recommend using fresh garlic cloves. You can use canned ones, or garlic powder instead if you’d prefer.
- Shallot – Shallots still pack a ton of flavor without being overbearing. If you don’t have a shallot, you can use a quarter of a white or yellow onion.
- Cashews – Cashews give this dressing that creamy base. You can also use a blend of cashew and walnuts, but I don’t recommend swapping the cashews all together.
- Rice Wine Vinegar – Rice Wine Vinegar specifically, is sweeter, and has less of a bite compared to other vinegars. Don’t recommend swapping this ingredient.
- Lemon Juice – Lemon juice is always a great option in salad dressings, but you can use lime juice if that’s what you have on hand.
- Parmesan – This will add a lovely, cheesy flavor to the dressing. If you wanted to make this recipe completely vegan, you can substitute this for nutritional yeast!
