Green. The favored color to wear on Saint Patrick’s Day for good luck and to keep us invisible to leprechauns. We love the color for everything from the Chicago River to beer and dinner. This year we’re tapping into one of our favorite dressings, green goddess, to create a meatless meal as brilliantly green as the lush green fields of Ireland.

Homemade green goddess dressing requires fresh herbs and a blender to purée them into a creamy sauce with mayonnaise and yogurt. The sauce keeps its beautiful pale green color and fresh flavor for several days in the refrigerator.
