Healthy Recipe, Avocado Green Goddess Dip (or Dressing)

Every holiday buffet table could use a few healthy choices, and a platter of colorful raw veggies is the easiest way. In this light dip, inspired by one in “Wine Style” by Kate Leahy (Ten Speed, $22), avocado replaces the mayo that gives classic green goddess dressing its creamy richness; a little anchovy and a generous dose of mixed fresh herbs add flavor without extra calories. It’s also great as a salad dressing or a sandwich spread. Make 1 cup. – Susan Puckett

Ingredients

  • 2 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
  • 2 anchovy fillets or ½ teaspoon anchovy paste
  • 1 tablespoon white or red wine vinegar
  • 1 medium avocado, pitted and peeled
  • ½ cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • ¼ cup packed mixed fresh herb leaves (tarragon, basil, dill, or chervil)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (plus more, to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • Pinch of paprika

Instructions

  1. In a blender container, combine the scallions, anchovy, vinegar, avocado, parsley, mixed herbs, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Puree until blended but not completely smooth.
  2. With the machine running, drizzle in the oil, then blend in the buttermilk.
  3. Transfer to a bowl and taste for seasoning, adding a little more salt if desired. Cover and chill at least an hour before serving.
  4. Sprinkle with a little paprika and serve with raw vegetables and/or plain crackers.
  5. Leftover dip may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to a week.
