My Personal Experience

I’ve always loved creamy dressings, but this Keto Green Goddess Dressing takes the prize for its fresh, tangy, and herbaceous flavor. The avocado makes it super smooth, while the blend of fresh herbs adds a beautiful green hue and an irresistible aroma. I use it not only as a salad dressing but also as a dip for my keto crackers and raw veggies. Once, I even tossed it with zucchini noodles, and it was such a hit with my family that I’ve been making it in double batches ever since!

Must-Have Equipment for This Keto Recipe

1. Blender or Food Processor
   Once I started making dressings with a high-speed blender, I never went back. It creates a perfectly creamy texture and blends all the ingredients evenly.
2. Measuring Cups and Spoons
   Measuring your ingredients ensures the perfect balance of flavors every time.
3. Spatula
   A spatula is handy for scraping down the sides of the blender or food processor to get every bit of that delicious dressing.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Avocado: Creates the creamy base. If unavailable, you can use Greek yogurt or sour cream as a substitute.
• Fresh Herbs: A mix of parsley, chives, and basil gives the dressing its signature flavor. Feel free to swap in cilantro or dill for a twist.
• Garlic: Adds a bold, pungent kick. Garlic powder can be used in a pinch.
• Lemon Juice: Provides tang and freshness. Lime juice works as an alternative.
• Olive Oil: A staple for keto dressings, adding richness and healthy fats. Avocado oil is another excellent option.
• Salt and Pepper: Enhances the overall flavor. Adjust to taste.
• Water: Helps achieve the desired consistency; adjust as needed.

FAQs: Everything You Need to Know

Can I make this dressing dairy-free?
Yes! This recipe is naturally dairy-free, but double-check any substitutions like Greek yogurt.

Can I use dried herbs?
Fresh herbs are best for flavor, but you can use dried herbs in smaller quantities.

How do I prevent the avocado from browning?
The acidity from the lemon juice helps, but storing the dressing in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed to the surface also helps prevent browning.
