Notes about this recipe

    Makes quite a lot of dressing! Thought it was deeply flavored and zippy thanks to the abundant lemon juice. I prefer green goddess with extra herbs like mint and parsley, and would add those next time.

    I made this dressing to serve over leaf lettuce, red onions, radishes, celery & sweet peppers. 1/3 of the recipe covered salad for 2 with extra (some of which I used as a dip for the crusts from my reheated pizza - perfect!). We both loved the flavour and I appreciate the use of anchovy paste which I do often have in the fridge. As always, I read the notes and used Greek yogurt in place of sour cream & upped the garlic. The rest will disappear tonight and I would make this dressing again for sure.

    I made 1/3 recipe using a 7-oz bag of butter lettuce; there was twice as much dressing as needed. I added cherry tomatoes and cucumber. The flavor was nice. I think you could use yogurt instead of sour cream to lighten it. Leftover dressing was really good on seafood salad.

    Made a quarter recipe of the dressing (for a different salad) and just eyeballed the quantities. I had to add some chives as a I didn't have quite enough scallions but otherwise I tried to follow as closely as possible. Nice but not outstanding. I wouldn't have minded more garlic but I am sure the recipe will keep better the way it is, with very subtle garlic.

    ...eating this dressing with a spoon...on bread...on leftover raw radishes...off my finger...licking the plate...Without question, this is the best salad dressing I have ever put in my mouth.
