Green Goddess dressing-a mix of mayonnaise, sour cream, herbs, anchovies and lemon-was created at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco in the 1920s, as a tribute to an actor starring in a play called The Green Goddess . The creamy dressing is typically tossed with a green salad, but it's also addictive in Melissa Rubel's chicken salad, made with a rotisserie bird.
Ingredients
- 2 oil-packed anchovies, drained
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1/2 cup(s) packed flat-leaf parsley leaves

Directions
- 1. In a food processor, pulse the anchovies, garlic, parsley, basil, dill and oregano until coarsely chopped. Add the mayonnaise and lemon juice and process until smooth. Fold in the chives; season with salt and pepper.
