This green goddess dressing recipe is creamy, herby, and delicious. It's not only my favorite salad dressing but also one of my favorite dips. You can tweak the acidity with more or less lemon and adjust the salt and pepper, but please do not change the trio of herbs. The way the parsley and chive play against the sweet tarragon makes this unlike any other herb dressing.
