it’s been several years since i discovered how much i love annie’s naturals goddess dressing. i’m pretty sure my mother-in-law introduced me to it one year in taos. my friend, natalie and i did everything we could to get this premium dressing for cheaper. we took turns driving to wild oats to buy it on sale. we ordered a case. finally trader joe’s started making a knock off and i would bring it home by the box full when i went to chicago. then natalie decided she would try to make it. i took her recipe. actually i wrote it down as she made it one day…natalie doesn’t really measure as she makes it. then i played with my guesses as far as the measurements. and here it is…our best guess at this dressing that both our families gobble up on everything from carrots to spinach to hard boiled eggs.
goddess dressing
1 cup sunflower oil
¼ cup tahini
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
2-3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon chives*
1 tablespoon parsley*
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
½ teaspoon kosher salt
juice of 1 lemon
place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
*natalie uses the dried herbs because the dressing keeps longer, but we go through it so fast that i like to use fresh when i can. you put more in when you use fresh.

Alison! Yay! I LOVE that dressing and it is expensive. I end up buying it in bunches on sale. Now I won’t have to! When I was pregnant with Max I would have spinach salads with cranberries and walnuts, sometimes avocado and that dressing… YUM!
