Lovely Green Goddess Dip


I did make the Green Goddess Dip that I posted about before Christmas. Here it is! in it's cool pale green glory. I avoided the anchovy paste, used white wine, and did about 3/4 cup low fat sour cream and 1/4 cup light mayonnaise. It was quite easy to make and very delicious. Next time, I will definitely add an avocado. Just in case you missed the recipe I am posting it again. Enjoy! 


Green Goddess Dip
-----------------------------------------------------
Makes about 2 cups

1/4 cup white wine or white balsamic vinegar
1/2 - 1 cup chopped fresh parsley (stems removes)
3 green onions, chopped 
small bunch of fresh chives, chopped 
1 teaspoon - 1 tablespoon anchovy paste (optional)
1 - 2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon lemon juice (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 freshly ground black pepper 
1 cup low fat mayonnaise

Purée the vinegar, parsley, green onions, chives, anchovy paste (if you like), garlic, lemon juice, and salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor until smooth; blend in the mayonnaise. Refrigerate until ready to serve.  

You can add a mashed ripe avocado to the mixture before adding the mayonnaise.

Just getting back into the swing of things with our usual schedules. - JD
