Traditional Green Goddess Dressing Recipe Midgelet / All my dishes
1 year, 7 months ago
Dressing as created in San Francisco, at the Palace Hotel in the early 1920s. I like this version the best. One can add a bit more or less of the ingredients to get the flavor one likes the best !

  • 1 clove, garlic - minced
  • 2 teaspoons, anchovy paste
  • 2 teaspoons, dried tarragon (or 2 tablespoons, fresh tarragon - minced)

  • 1/2 cup real sour cream
  • Salt if needed and some pepper to taste

Directions
  1. Whisk together all ingredients.
  2. Chill for at least 2 hours, so flavors will blend. Mix or shake well.
  3. Serve at cool room temperature.
  4. History of Green Goddess:
  5. Actor George Arliss was appearing at that time in San Francisco in William Archer’s play called "The Green Goddess".
  6. The play had opened in New York in 1921, and was twice made into a motion picture, in 1923 and 1930 – all versions starring Arliss.
  7. To celebrate the play's success and honor the actor, Palace chef Philip Reomer created a special composed salad for a dinner party.
  8. The delicious salad and dressing really caught on and
  9. became an intermittent “fad” lasting for decades.
