Green Goddess Seasoning

Green Goddess Seasoning - Main image
$6 $12 In stock

A cool, herb-green dip for crudites, a dressing that makes a plain salad worth eating, a sauce spooned over grilled salmon: green goddess is the flavor that turns fresh and simple into something people ask about. Whisk it into sour cream or yogurt for a dip, blend it with olive oil and lemon for a dressing, or rub it onto chicken before roasting. Tarragon leads, backed by basil, dill, chives, and chervil.

Tarragon is the signature here, a soft anise-scented herb that gives green goddess its distinct green flavor. We balance it with dill, chives, and a whisper of chervil so it stays bright rather than sharp. A measured amount of kosher salt rounds it out, which means you taste the seasoning as you add it, with no separate salting needed.

Hand-blended with kosher salt. No sugar, no preservatives. Naturally gluten-free and vegan.

Is green goddess seasoning salty?
It does contain kosher salt, so it seasons as you go. Start with a light hand, taste, and build up. Because the salt is already in the blend, hold back on adding more salt to the dish until you have tasted it.

Does the tarragon overpower everything?
Tarragon is the loudest herb in the blend, so a little goes a long way. Start with less than you think you need, especially in a dip or dressing where nothing cooks it down. You get a clean anise-and-herb flavor rather than a bitter one when you keep the dose modest.

Does it have any heat?
No. There is no chili or pepper heat here beyond a small amount of black pepper. It is an herb-forward, mild blend meant for fresh and light dishes.

Is it good as a dry rub for chicken?
Yes. Rub it onto chicken with a little olive oil before roasting or grilling. The tarragon and lemon peel suit poultry and fish especially well.

Is it vegan?
Yes. Every ingredient is plant-based, and there is no sugar or preservatives in the blend.

George Y. ★★★★★

I’ve been spooning this over grilled salmon every Friday since it arrived, and the herb-green color alone makes the plate look fancy. It’s creamy enough to cling to a romaine leaf but light enough that the salad doesn’t turn soggy, which is exactly what I needed.

Evelyn ★★★★☆

The jar’s smaller than I pictured, but the flavor is spot-on—it made a plain salad taste like something from a bistro. I’ve been spooning it over grilled salmon and it works perfectly, though I wish the herb taste was a bit more punchy.
