Green Goddess Salad

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Green Goddess Dressing was developed at the Palace Hotel in the 20’s as a tribute to George Arliss who was part of the cast of a play called “The Green Goddess”.

I love this version I’ve adapted from my latest obsession “Sunday Suppers at Lucques” by Suzanne Goin.

Green Goddess Salad

  • Author: Rocky Mountain Woman
Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 heads of romaine lettuce, outer leaves removed, rinsed, dried and chopped
  • 1 large egg yolk (make sure you can trust your egg supply or use pasteurized eggs)
  • 3/4 C grapeseed oil (the recipe uses a full cup, but I like salad dressing a little tart)
  • 1 1/2 C parsley
  • 2 T tarragon leaves
  • 3 T chives
  • 1 clove of garlic, chopped
  • 2 salt-packed anchovies, rinsed, bones removed
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 T plus 1 t Champagne vinegar
  • 2 small avocados, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced
  • kosher salt and pepper from the mill

Instructions

  1. Place the egg yolk in a large bowl and slowly whisk in 1/2 cup of the oil, little by little until it emulsifies
  2. Place the rest of the oil, parsley, tarragon, chives, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice and Champagne vinegar in a blender and blend until smooth
  3. Slowly incorporate that mixture into the oil and egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly
  4. Arrange the lettuce, cucumber and avocado on a large platter and drizzle the dressing over it

 

 

 

This looks impressive on a buffet or at the table.  Served with a glass of wine, you can imagine you are hanging out at the Palace Hotel in the 20’s, dressed like a flapper and dancing the night away, when you are really a grandma, dressed in pajama pants and a flannel shirt eating alone in the Rocky Mountains (and pretty happy about that).

    Thanks for sharing this recipe! I will definitely have to try this salad and I think serving it with chicken is a great idea. I have heard of this salad before, but didn’t know the origin or the ingredients. Great “G” post!

    Oh.

    Moan.

    Yum.

    Oh.

    Gosh.

    That was overwhelming.

    I love, love, love Green Goddess!

    And I am soooo going to make this over the weekend. I bet it would be amazing in a wedge salad!

    Thanks for a gorgeously decadent post!

    Happy (belated but sincere) New Year to you, too, lovely RMW!

    A++
