Green Goddess Salad Dressing

Easy Healthy Homemade Green Goddess Dressing is Simply Divine

Veganized from Chez Panisse Vegetables Cookbook: Deleted anchovies, used almond & coconut milk instead of cream - for an almost low fat, definitely low GI recipe.

We left out vinegar and onion, reduced the oil, kept essential avocado, lime & lemon, basil & parsley, added agave nectar to sweeten.

You'll need a blender or food processor to make this recipe, and a small rubber or silicone scraper or spatula comes in handy.
