Green Goddess Dip
This Green Goddess Dip is a favorite in our Tuesday Foods kitchen!
It’s light, yet smooth and creamy, and it has a great kick to it thanks to the lemon and apple cider. The fresh herbs give it a fresh and cleansing feel.
We love this dressing on a big salad with romaine, cucumbers, corn and chickpeas . It would also be good over a simple chopped kale salad.
It makes a delicious dip for veggies - carrots, cucumbers, sweet peppers and broccoli. Or drizzle over a baked sweet potato.
This Green Goddess Dip also makes a tasty addition to a simple grain bowl, with brown rice or quinoa, beans and vegetables. YUM!
