When I made the Green Goddess Salad for the first time, I knew it was something special. The dressing is packed with mouthwatering herby flavors, lots of greens, and is vegan. It’s the best of all worlds.

I’m asked a lot how to adjust the recipe for dietary restrictions, so today I’m breaking down every component of the dressing and giving ingredient swaps to make it low FODMAP, nut-free, or work with your pantry ingredients. Go crazy with the flavor combos! When you land on your perfect recipe, tell me all about it.

Here’s what you’ll learn in today’s Green Goddess deep dive:

  • What each ingredient is used for in the original recipe

  • Ingredient swaps & substitutions to create different flavors and adjust for dietary restrictions

  • Six different Green Goddess recipes to get you started, with a variety of uses, textures, and flavor profiles

  • A printable ingredients substitution cheat sheet to keep on your fridge

Let’s dive in!
