Our micro-green goddess dressing showcases the remarkable versatility of green goddess dressing by incorporating microgreens—tiny edible greens harvested at an early stage of growth—in place of traditionally used herbs.

The addition of mustard microgreens, as well as our pea shoots and sunflower shoots, add a burst of fresh peppery flavor!
From simple salads to gourmet sandwiches and seafood, this dressing covers it all! A go-to condiment whether you’re looking for taste or the health benefits!

Present this microgreen goddess dressing like a pro
Get creative!
Use lots of pepper! Think of green goddess dressing like a peppercorn dressing. The pepper is what gives the dressing it’s zing… so don’t skimp!
Add lemon juice for some extra zing, start with 1/2 Tbsp. and go from there.
Add anchovies for more tang!
Add a finely chopped jalapeño to add some heat.
Changing up tradition
Traditional green goddess dressings are made with a cup a fresh herbs rather than the microgreens we use in the recipe above. To change up your dressing, add in some fresh herbs like these for some extra flavor (start with a small amount, and add to taste):
Basil
Parsley
Cilantro
Dill
Mint
Chives (go easy, these can quickly overpower the flavor!)
Go all out!
If you really want to go crazy, consider what you’ll be serving the dressing with and add herbs accordingly. For example, dill pairs great with fish, basil with chicken, cilantro with tacos, etc.
Veggie dip
Want to dip your veggies instead of smother them in dressing? Use a bit more yogurt, and a bit less greens for an awesome veggie dip!
