KILLER GOOD! I didn't even have scallions so subbed a shallot. It was still outrageously good! This is the green goddess dressing recipe I've been looking for for ages! I'm using this on my fish tacos tomorrow.

Gang liked at Christmas. I thought it was a tad tangy, but that issue can be addressed by reducing the lemon a tad.

This dressing is AMAZING!! So fresh and full of flavor. A huge crowd pleaser! I have made this many times and usually add a tiny bit more lemon juice. I have also used Cilantro and Italian parsley in place of the Basil and it's wonderful. The green onion and garlic really give it a nice pepper bite. Don't be afraid of the Anchovy Paste. It doesn't add a"fishy" taste, it contributes a subtle back note and just another depth of flavor. Superb!
