Tarragon based dip "Green Goddess"
2 servings
70 minutes
The 'Green Goddess' dip is a creamy, aromatic appetizer rooted in Italian cuisine that gained popularity in California in the early 20th century. Its refreshing taste comes from a blend of sour cream, mayonnaise, and lemon juice creating a delicate base, while fresh herbs like parsley, tarragon, and chives add zesty herbal notes. This dip pairs wonderfully with snacks and is served with crackers or fresh vegetables to enjoy the creamy texture contrasted with the crunchy base. The inclusion of tarragon gives the dip a slightly sweet anise flavor, making it unique among classic sauces. 'Green Goddess' is an ideal choice for a light summer snack or an elegant addition to a festive table.
