It's a Love That Has No Past

Mexican Green Goddess Dressing

Since the dawn of time I have been fascinated with Green Goddess Dressing.  What was this magical concoction!?  I don't remember ever having tasted it, yet I knew that I loved it. I didn't want to taint my wonderment of this Diosa Verde so without looking at recipes beforehand I made a Mexican version.  Stick with what you know, right?  

Mexican Green Goddess Dressing

• Greek Yogurt (replaced Mayo)
• Lime (replaced the lemon)
• Avocado (replaced the oil)
• cilantro (replaced the tarragon)
• garlic
• pickled jalapenos (replaced vinegar) 
• green onions (replaced chives)
• S&P
• a pinch of Knorr Chicken Flavor Bouillon *

Blend all together to your desired consistency.  I had to add a little water to get it to blend and due to the little chunks of onion and herbs, it doesn't pour well out of a squirt bottle but other than that, I loved it! 

Refreshing, Tangy and Addictive!

Afterthoughts:   Now that I see the official list of ingredients (although recipes vary drastically on-line), I will add anchovies and dill next time.  I had no idea the ingredients and had always suspected buttermilk.  

* I've noticed more online cooks adding chicken bouillon powder to tons of recipes and I think it's to add that bit of msg (and umami) that makes everything taste better but no one wants to buy a jar of msg because we think it's bad news.
