Who else loooooves a mean Green Goddess? It’s the perfect way to add some zest and flavor to a bland salad. But did you know that with a few fresh veggies, you can turn Green Goddess from a salad dressing into a creamy pasta sauce? It’s a serious game changer!
The sauce gets its green color from three key veggies:
spinach,
green peppers,
and cilantro. Lots of it. (Sorry, cilantro haters!)
And to make this creamy, we’re going to use vegan sour cream. I love the one from Forager Project. This also adds some tang and brings all the flavors together nicely.
Green Goddess Pasta is fresh, flavorful, and fun… and GREEN!
