Green goddess dressing

Green goddess dressing

Green goddess is a salad dressing, typically containing mayonnaise, sour cream, chervil, chives, anchovy, tarragon, lemon juice, and pepper. Before the advent of ranch dressing, green goddess was possibly one of the most popular salad dressings in the West Coast of the United States.

The dressing is named for its green tint. The most accepted theory regarding its origins points to the Palace Hotel in San Francisco in 1923, when the hotel's executive chef wanted something to pay tribute to actor George Arliss and his hit play, "The Green Goddess". [ [http://members.cox.net/jjschnebel/grgdssdr.html Who Cooked That Up?] ] He then concocted this dressing, which, like the play, became a hit.

In the early 1970’s, salad dressing maker Seven Seas produced a bottle version of this dressing. It is still made in limited quantities, although the company has since been purchased by Kraft Foods. It is sold in online outlets like The Vermont Country Store and Wal-Mart. Maker of natural salad dressings and sauces, Annie's Naturals also manufactures an ovo-lacto-vegetarian variant of the original dressing called Organic Green Goddess Dressing and a vegan creation of their own similar to the original called Goddess Dressing, which is made with tahini.
