Green goddess dressing is a favorite of mine. I have used mixes, bottles, and other potions to try and find the perfect restaurant-quality combination. You must make it from scratch. It is the only way. No mayonnaise was used in the creation of this lovely adornment to salads, fajitas, fresh tomatoes, pickled pigs feet, etc.75% of the fat in this green goddess dressing comes from monounsaturated fatty acids. That is the reason for the 80 rating on this one! Monounsaturated fatty acids may have the ability to lower your bad LDL cholesterol and raise your healthy HDL cholesterol.
