Green goddess is a salad dressing that's traditionally made with mayonnaise, sour cream and fresh green herbs. Our take on green goddess dressing is beautifully green and creamy with avocado, which is loaded with good-for-you fats. Use your choice of fresh green herbs, such as tarragon, sorrel and/or chives. Nonfat buttermilk makes it creamy and a dash of tarragon vinegar or white-wine vinegar adds tang. Can I Make the Dressing Ahead? You can make the dressing up to 1 day in advance. Prepare the recipe through Step 1. Cover and refrigerate the dressing in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Additional reporting by Jan Valdez Ingredients ½ avocado, peeled and pitted ¾ cup nonfat buttermilk 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, such as tarragon, sorrel and/or chives 2 teaspoons tarragon vinegar, or white-wine vinegar 1 teaspoon anchovy paste, or minced anchovy fillet 8 cups bite-size pieces green leaf lettuce 12 ounces peeled and deveined cooked shrimp, (21-25 per pound; see Ingredient note) ½ cucumber, sliced 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes 1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed 1 cup rinsed and chopped canned artichoke hearts ½ cup chopped celery Directions Puree avocado, buttermilk, herbs, vinegar and anchovy in a blender until smooth.

Equipment Blender Ingredient note Shrimp are sold by the number needed to make one pound. For example, "21-25 count" means there will be 21 to 25 shrimp in a pound. Size names, such as "large" or "extra large," are not standardized, so to be sure you're getting the size you want, order by the count (or number) per pound.
