Green Goddess Salad Dressing by Seven Seas

Remember that one? Late Sixties?

I’ve surfed the internet looking for a recipe, and all I can find is various concoctions with CILANTRO–ICK!

The original dressing had anchovies in it.

Anybody got a recipe, WITHOUT cilantro? (I don’t think cilantro had been invented in the late sixties! :smiley: )

Here’s one that doesn’t use cilantro. And it uses anchovies. I haven’t tried it, but it looks easy enough.

I remember Green Goddess dressing from years ago. I liked it, and just may give this recipe a try sometime.

To Spoons:

I looked at the recipe, and drooled all over the pictures! I’m going to add the ingredients to my shopping list, thanks so much!

You can still buy it at the store but it’s made by Kraft now. I have a bottle in my fridge right now! Yummers!

Wow, that really brings back memories. This is what we used in my house in the early 70s, when I was about 5 years old.

We used this before ranch dressing took over a few years later (early 80s in my house).

You’re welcome, VOW. Let me know how it turns out.

The Weight Watchers recipe is pretty good as well. No cilantro.

Sold in Walmart superstore here with all the other salad dressings. I used to make it myself at home previous to discovering the bottled sold here. You can always do that and just leave out the ingredient you loathe, though the end result will be a bit different. (I remember Rachael Ray making a Caribbean jerk type recipe, and she said “I’m going to put in some of the Caribbean jerk flavors into this dish”. Not all. But it was good anyway!)

I loved Green Goddess when I was a kid. Hadn’t had it in decades.

The SO, for some reason, bought a bottle a few months ago. Not only has it become my salad dressing mainstay, but we’ve also gotten several other people hooked on it. :stuck_out_tongue:

We tried making it once but without much success. I’ll have to give those recipes a try.

Penzey’s has a dry Green Goddess mix.

Well, we went to a Super Wally World last night, and I found the Kraft dressing: “Seven Seas Green Goddess.” I carefully read the ingredients, and while there was no cilantro mentioned, I didn’t see anchovy, either. I tried looking around the store for anchovy paste, but they either have it stashed in a dark corner I missed, or it’s not a Super Wally World product. I’ll check Safeway the next time we go.

I’m DYING to put a dab on a lettuce leaf now!

I thought it was interesting that the Kraft label incorporated Seven Seas in the name of the dressing!

The Green Goddess by Kraft does not taste the same, IMHO,…it has a sharper taste…unless I got a few bad bottles…I am a major vinegar fan (I dip my french fries and potato chips in it) but this was gross…

Well, I tried the stuff from Kraft. It’s thinner in consistency than the old Green Goddess dressing. I didn’t get an overpowering vinegar taste, instead, I got a whole lot of BLAND. When I find the anchovy paste, I’ll add that to the rest of the bottled dressing.

Will report back!

An old recipe from the twenties:

2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream (or yogurt)
1/4 cup tarragon vinegar
1 small can anchovy fillets, mashed up
3 finely chopped scallions
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients until thoroughly mixed and smooth.
