Sauces and Condiments Recipe ⟶ Chef John's Green Goddess Dressing

This creamy, herby, addictively delicious sauce is not only my favorite salad dressing, but is one of my favorite dips as well. You can of course tweak the acidity with more or less lemon, as well as play with the salt and pepper, but please do not change the trio of herbs. The way the parsley and chive play against the sweet tarragon makes this unlike any other herb dressing.

Ingredients

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• ¾ cup sour cream
• ⅓ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• ⅓ cup chopped fresh tarragon
• ¼ cup chopped fresh chives

• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
