Green Goddess Dressing

I know the original Green Goddess dressing was made with mayonnaise and sour cream, but I just love non-fat Greek yogurt, and rarely use sour cream anymore (though I do love it too). I also use buttermilk for a nice pourable, creamy texture, and the buttermilk and yogurt complement each other so well. So this is a fairly low fat dressing. Some may say using buttermilk makes this more of a Ranch dressing, but a true Ranch dressing wouldn't have anchovy and all the green herbs, and actually is another topic altogether!

This should not to be confused with Green Goddess Tsatsiki, which is a much richer, thicker preparation used as a condiment rather than a dressing.1 clove garlic
Palmful parsley
1 green onion, coarsely chopped
1 Tbsp fresh, or 1/2 tsp dried tarragon
1 anchovy, or 1 tsp anchovy paste
1/2 cup good real mayonnaise
1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1/3 cup buttermilk

In a small food processor, chop the garlic, parsley, green onion,tarragon and anchovy, finely. Add the remaining ingredients and blend together well.
