Svelte Green Goddess Dip
Svelte Green Goddess dip takes the cool and creamy herbal classic and lightens it up a bit. Anchovies add a hit of umami, while low-fat sour cream keeps it velvety.
Ingredients
- 2 oil-packed anchovy fillets, rinsed and patted dry
- 1 large clove garlic, smashed
- 2 scallions, including 3 inches of the green tops, cut into 1/2-inch lengths
- 1/4 cup lightly packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1/4 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped dill leaves
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped tarragon leaves
- 6 large basil leaves, torn into pieces
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 3/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
Instructions
- In the work-bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, process the anchovies, garlic, scallions, parsley, cilantro, dill, tarragon, basil, vinegar, salt, sugar, and pepper until finely chopped. Stop the machine once or twice to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Add the sour cream and mayonnaise and process until smooth. Scoop into a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. (This dip can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. Cover and refrigerate. Remove from the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving.) Originally published September 20, 2010.
