This keto green goddess dressing is perfectly creamy with lots of fresh flavor and is perfect for dipping veggies or pouring on a keto salad!
Eating salad is…not my strong suit. 😉 I mean, I LOVE salad, I just like it best when someone else prepares it for me.
The only way I’m eating salad at home is if I have a tasty homemade dressing to pour over the top. This keto green goddess salad dressing is so bright and fresh and creamy and just all around perfect for Spring and summer when the fresh herbs are in abundance.
Of course, this homemade green goddess dressing is good for more than just salads – try serving it up as a dip next to a pile of fresh veggies, like you would our Dill Veggie Dip.
Bright, fresh, and flavorful!
Homemade salad dressing is so simple and tastes so much better than store bought.
You can easily customize this with whatever herbs you have on hand.
When you make your own dressing, you know exactly what goes in it – no funky ingredients!

Green Goddess Salad Dressing Ingredient Notes:

Greek Yogurt – This creamy keto dressing starts with some non-fat Greek yogurt! It’s the perfect base for the dressing and will take on lots of flavors from the other ingredients! Plus it adds protein!
Mayonnaise – Some mayo will add even more creaminess to the dressing!
Herbs – You’ll need a mix of dill, parsley, cilantro, chives, and fresh tarragon. Feel free to mix and match to suit your tastes and what you have on hand.
Lemon Juice – Brightens up the dressing and makes the flavors pop.
Seasoning – Just some salt and black pepper. You’ll also add in a clove of garlic that’ll get blended in for even more flavor!
Variations & Alternative Dressing Ingredients:
There are a few ways you can prepare green goddess salad dressing with different or alternative ingredients! We like this with Greek yogurt but you could swap that out for sour cream instead.
I am not a fan of anchovies but some green goddess dressing recipes use anchovy paste to add an extra savory element to it. That’s not for me but you can use it if that’s your thing!
You could mix in a bit of apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar to add a tangy element, or some capers or green olives to add briny, salty flavors. Lime instead of lemon juice, or a mixture, would also work.
Other herbs or seasonings can also be included. Not everyone enjoys cilantro so it is optional. Basil is a good one to add and for some extra fresh flavor try adding mint! So refreshing.
Some green onions or shallots could be added to the mixture too, or slices of creamy avocado!
Tools Needed:
Food Processor or Blender – We use our favorite food processor to blend this up. Here’s the one we use. It’s a total workhorse and we use it daily to shred cheese, chop veggies, and blend ingredients together. This personal blender should also work well.
Mason Jars – Perfect for storing your leftover dressing.
Step by Step Instructions:
Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor.
Process until smooth and creamy. Taste and add additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your tastes.
Recipe FAQs:
You can keep this keto green goddess dressing stored in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for about 3 to 4 days.
In moderation, Greek yogurt can be a great addition to a keto diet. It does contain some carbs, so we limit the amount we consume. Be sure to use unsweetened Greek yogurt.
