Green Goddess is one of those goes-with-everything sauces we turn to when we’re in a mad dash to cook up something impressive on the fly. It’s fresh, creamy, and loaded with herbs. Just a bit of it can brighten up any dish, like lettuce cups with chicken or a vegetarian pasta salad. Here, this zesty sauce takes a veggie-loaded sandwich to the next level.

I’m going to try this recipe for my husband’s lunch. It looks so delicious!
I make this combo a lot but use strained in a coffee filter all day whole milk yogurt that I make each week. I find mayo too sweet and fatty.

This was so so good! I Ieft out the jalapeno, but my oldest child sliced one up for her sandwich. I used an organic non GMO seeded multi grain bread, toasted and slathered on the yummy stuff. I can see that used in multiple dishes in my house!! Thank you for the recipe ????
