The essence of a green goddess sauce is (surprise!) an abundance of fresh green herbs. It’s a light, bright, and refreshing dip, dressing, or crema.

Precisely which herbs you use in the sauce is dependent upon your taste, garden, and refrigerator. Suffice to say that you should use what you like, and do not skimp. I make the dressing with herbs I always have on hand, which often include parsley and cilantro. If I have chervil, tarragon, chives, or dill, I'll add them, too. Feel free to tinker and mix and match the herbs to your preference—just be sure to mind the quantity.
