This rich, creamy green goddess dressing is made with a blend of mayo and tahini so it works as a sandwich spread, dip for veggies or salad dressing. So quick + easy!
Use this creamy vegan green goddess thick on kale and cabbage salads, or thin it out for more delicate lettuce salads!
I will pretty much come up with any excuse possible to cram herbs into a recipe (we measure herbs in cups, not sprinkles around here) because I’m in the more-is-more camp when it comes to flavour. If you want to actually use up those little clamshells of herbs you buy, stick with me ha ha!
Buuuuut…dietitian me also wants you to know that herbs are ridiculously good for you. They’re essentially green leafy veg with an abundance of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals, like how dill is rich in the flavonoid quercetin. But to benefit, you really gotta pile them on.
Which is where this thick, creamy and totally vegan green goddess dressing comes in! You can use it in so many ways: a dip for vegetables, a sandwich spread OR a salad dressing – like my Green Goddess Shredded Cabbage + Snap Pea Salad.

Whip up this dairy free green goddess dressing in minutes
This green goddess dressing has an origin story: I created a green goddess sandwich for a client over on instagram and loved the creamy spread so much I wanted to reimagine it for salads.
While it’s more common for green goddess to be made from tahini OR mayo, I really love the combination because tahini adds a nutty, earthiness that the mayo’s natural sweetness lightens up a bit. Don’t love tahini? This dressing is just as good if you use all mayo…your choice! I’ve tested both and they work great.
Nutrition Corner: I know how hard it is to find good low FODMAP salad dressings, so I designed this one to be low FODMAP…but you can add garlic if you like! It’s also nut free, gluten free and egg free when you use vegan mayo.

Thick + Creamy Vegan Green Goddess Dressing
This rich, creamy green goddess dressing is made with a blend of mayo and tahini so it works as a sandwich spread, dip for veggies or salad dressing. So quick + easy!
wateradd 1 – 2 tablespoons at a time to adjust thicknesss
Imperial – Metric
Instructions
In a bullet blender, or blending cup with immersion blender, add all of the ingredients, except water, and blend until creamy and smooth, about 1 minute.
Note the texture: if you need it a bit thinner, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend, until you reach the desired consistency.
Now taste! How’s the salt? Add a bit more. Tastes a bit flat? Add more lemon. Tasting too earthy? Add another tsp of maple syrup. Tahinis and mayos all taste different so it’s important to adjust.
Notes
If making this as a meal prep, just be aware that the garlic flavour intensifies over time so don’t go too wild on the garlic!
Whether you use it as a salad dressing, dip or sandwich spread, this creamy vegan green goddess is going to be a new fave!
