Green Goddess Dip Recipe

(or Green Goddess Dressing, if you like)

Its signature ingredients are mayo, fresh tarragon, and anchovies. Yes, another anchovy recipe. We may order "anything but anchovies" on our pizzas, but when it comes to dressings and dips, like Caesar and Green Goddess, we say "bring 'em on."

Green Goddess Dip

2 cups mayonnaise
6 anchovy fillets, minced
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon (or 1 T dried)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (or 1 T dried)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well, or better yet, pulse briefly in a food processor or blender.

Cover and refrigerate to chill the dip thoroughly and to allow the flavors to blend. This recipe can be prepared up to 2 days ahead.

Serve with cooked artichoke leaves and other vegetable dippers, and assorted crackers and toasts. Also excellent with Grilled Shrimp.

Makes about 3 cups.
