This green goddess salad comes from my dear friend Geoffrey Rodriguez.
We hosted a potluck last week and Geoffrey brought this green goddess salad, and my friends were literally climbing over me to scribble down the recipe while he dictated it! True story.
This green goddess salad is really delicious and the mixture of flavors is simple, and yet rich, and the dressing is absolutely to die for. I love this combo of leaves and veggies. But, you could pour this epic green goddess dressing on anything you like. Or opt for the tactic employed by one of my beloved dinner guests – lick it out of the jar!
Geoffrey is an incredible cook. I get so excited driving over to his house for dinner. My taste buds start dancing as I make the turn into his street in excited anticipation of what delectable offerings will arrive on the table. He, and his gorgeous partner, Bernhard both have a passion for fine food and eco-friendly living.
Geoffrey is one of America’s leading make-up artists in fashion and advertising. After apprenticing in NYC with internationally renowned make-up artist, Vincent Longo, Geoffrey moved to London in 1997 to take up his position as the Global Artist for Vincent Longo Cosmetics, where he became recognized by top industry insiders as an authority in beauty. In the spring of 2000, he redirected his focus toward fashion editorial and advertising, working with high profile celebrities and the U.K’s top magazines.

this looks delicious!!
It is SO good! Enjoy 🙂
Hi! I was wondering why you chop up everything? Is the Vitamix supposed to do that for you?
Yes, you can throw all of the ingredients for the dressing in pieces. But, I prescribe the ingredients in measurements chopped up as food measures with greater accuracy when it’s cut into small pieces, and this means that your recipe will turn out closest to mine in flavor. If I said, “a knob or a handful” that means something different to everybody, and can make such a huge difference to flavor, particularly with pungent ingredients like ginger, chiles, etc. Once you make the recipe and know what it tastes like, feel free to gestimate and throw things in in large pieces.
This is a beautiful recipe. It looks very delicious! I look forward to trying it lout; green goddess dressings are definitely cool!
Keep up the blending!
Gracie.
Yes! Green Goddess Dressing is the BEST! Enjoy 🙂
This salad is beyond amazing! I literally could eat the dressing by the spoonful all by itself. It is a must, thanks for sharing Geoffrey and for all the incredible work you do, Tess!!!
Thanks Stace! Yes, I actually DID eat it with a spoon last night! SOOOOO good. Love you xx
Do you know if this dressing keeps for awhile? Or if it freezes well?
I haven’t tried freezing it yet, but I freeze tons of other dips and dressings. I don’t see why this would be any different. Just defrost and blend again. It keeps in the fridge for about 3 – 4 days. SOOO good.
