FAQS

  1. How can I make Green Goddess Sauce vegan?

    To make a vegan version of Green Goddess Sauce, simply omit the Greek yogurt or substitute it with a plant-based yogurt or silken tofu. This will keep the sauce creamy while ensuring it remains dairy-free.

  2. What are some good dishes to pair with Green Goddess Sauce?

    Green Goddess Sauce is incredibly versatile! It pairs well with grilled vegetables, salads, tacos, or as a dip for fresh veggies. You can also use it as a spread on sandwiches or wraps for an extra burst of flavor.

  3. How should I store leftover Green Goddess Sauce?

    Store any leftover Green Goddess Sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for about 3-5 days. To prevent browning, you can press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce before sealing the container.

  4. Can I substitute any ingredients in the Green Goddess Sauce recipe?

    Yes! If you don't have basil or cilantro, you can use other fresh herbs like parsley or dill. For a spicier kick, you can add more green chillies or even jalapeños. If you're looking for a lower-fat option, you can reduce the amount of Greek yogurt or omit it entirely.

  5. What is the best way to blend the ingredients for Green Goddess Sauce?

    For the best texture, use a high-speed blender or food processor to blend the avocado, herbs, garlic, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, green chillies, and salt until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water or olive oil to reach your desired consistency.
