Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Paleo, Whole30
Filled with fresh herbs this creamy, made from scratch dressing is deliciously light, savory, and refreshing. It is a simple recipe that boasts restaurant quality taste and can be easily made by novice cooks!
Why I love this recipe
Made without dairy, soy, or added sugar, this healthy allergy friendly dressing checks all the boxes of it's traditional dairy containing counterpart. The texture is creamy and drizzly with a bright, herbaceous flavor. Fresh tarragon leaves bring a touch of licorice-like flavor, while fresh scallions add a hint of savory onion to balance the flavor profile of this delicious recipe!
My two favorite things about homemade dressings is both the simplicity of the recipes and the unbeatable fresh, clean taste. An easy 5-minute recipe, Dairy Free Green Goddess Dressing is also a great way to use leftover green herbs!
The best oil for this dressing
Extra virgin olive oil is too strong of a flavor for this recipe. Instead, choose light olive oil. When mixed with eggs, it emulsified creating the smooth creamy texture of this dressing.
Fish sauce recommendation
With only two ingredients (sea salt and anchovies), Red Boat makes an excellent quality fish sauce that is Whole30, paleo, and keto friendly.
What if I don't own an immersion blender?
You can use a blender, food processor, or immersion blender to make this dressing. I typically use an immersion blender. It might take a little longer for the dressing to fully emulsify if using a food processor or blender. Be patient, make sure to start with room temperature ingredients and it will all come together!
Using pasteurized eggs
Pasteurized eggs are heat treated to kill harmful bacteria that cause foodborne illness without cooking the eggs. In the past, I was able to find pasteurized eggs at local organic, health food stores and larger chains like Kroger. I did use them in recipes when I was pregnant. However, due to the most recent bird flu of 2024, the amount of pasteurized eggs available has significantly been impacted.
When they are available, they are also typically more expensive than unpasteurized eggs. Another way to minimize risk while being budget friendly is to pasteurize eggs at home. This link provides tips for 2 different methods.
I typically buy good quality organic free range eggs and have not splurged for pasteurized eggs since my youngest son was born. It's a matter of personal preference so do what feels right for your family!
