Make a creamy and herbaceous Green Goddess dressing at home that tastes just like the Panera Bread version.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, packed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons water (or more, for thinning)

Instructions

  1. Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream (or yogurt), parsley, chives, tarragon, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a food processor or high-speed blender.
  2. Process the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and the herbs are finely incorporated. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Taste the dressing. Add more salt or pepper if desired.
  4. If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add water one tablespoon at a time while blending until you reach your preferred consistency.
  5. Transfer the dressing to an airtight container.
  6. Chill the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a brighter green color, add a small handful of fresh spinach along with the herbs.
  • You can substitute the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt for a lower-fat option.
  • This dressing stores well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • If you do not have fresh tarragon, you can substitute it with 1/2 teaspoon of dried tarragon, but the flavor will be less intense.
