This refreshing Green Goddess dressing is a delicious way to use the bountiful harvest of early spring and summer greens. You can make it with any herbs you have on hand, combining their fragrant flavors, such as parsley, basil, chives, and tarragon. All the herbs are pureed in a food processor along with the base of this dressing—a mixture of mayonnaise and sour cream. Add mustard, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce for flavor, and the dressing is perfect for any salad, green or vegetable. Place it in the center of the table, and arrange blanched vegetables around it—a healthy appetizer while you wait for the main course.
