Green dressings had their heyday in the 1970s. For instance, the Green Goddess Dressing featured in NY and LA eateries. This dressing was made from a blend of fresh parsley, chives, other herbs, sour cream and mayonnaise.

Our green dressings are full of flavor and nutrients because we use fresh herbs and heart healthy fats such avocado and olive oil.
