Kefir Avocado Green Goddess Dressing (Keto, GAPS, Gluten-free)

Kefir avocado green goddess dressing is creamy, tangy and refreshing. Made with the most wholesome and nutritious superfood ingredients, you can enjoy this dressing to your heart’s content. Compliant with keto, GAPS and gluten-free dietary requirements.

The first time I made green goddess dressing many years ago, I was immediately hooked on the flavour.  It was summer time, the idea of using a ton of fresh herbs was extremely fitting. I also ate a lot of salads and barbecued meats and vegetables during the warm weather days, and found myself dipping every bite into the green goddess dressing.

Ingredient Notes

I love the version I am sharing with you all today, featuring kefir, avocado, fresh herbs and MCT oil. 

• Avocado: Adds a touch of beautiful green and creaminess to the dressing. Avocado is rich in fibre, B-vitamins, vitamin K, minerals and oleic acid. 
• Milk Kefir: One of the best sources of probiotics, and part of the traditional diet. Milk kefir made from real kefir grains contains more strains of beneficial bacteria than yogurt. Since I have a constant supply of homemade kefir from organic whole milk, I often replace yogurt with kefir in recipes. 
• Fresh Herbs: I love a generous handful of fresh herbs in the kefir avocado green goddess dressing. Not only nutrient-rich, parsley and cilantro play key roles in the detoxification process. Cilantro, in particular, is a well-known chelator for removing heavy metals. 
• MCT oil: More than just a dietary supplement for ketogenic diet and brain function, MCT oil with a delicate coconut taste adds so much depth and richness in recipes. I found MCT oil an ideal ingredient in salad dressings because it will not be heated. A hint of coconut enhances the kefir avocado green goddess dressing perfectly. My trusted brand to buy MCT oil is Perfect Supplements. My reader exclusive discount code “YANG10” will give you 10% off your entire order when shopping at Perfect Supplements. You can even stack my discount with other offers on the site including volume discount, special promotion and free shipping. 

Special Tools

• Food Processor: You need some kind of food-processing kitchen appliance that can smoothly combine all ingredients. In other recipes, food processor is a nice-to-have if you don’t mind mixing by hands; but for this green goddess dressing, a food processor or equivalent is a must – there is no other way around it!
• Blender: If you don’t have a food processor, alternatively you can use a blender.  I own a Blendtec. It is fantastic.
• Lemon Press: I can’t live without my stainless steel lemon press. You can’t beat freshly squeezed lemon juice with the pre-packaged kind. I used to own an enamelled lemon press – it was pretty but the coating peeled off eventually. Now I only use stainless steel lemon press and swear by it. 

Green Goddess Dressing Serving Suggestions

What I love about this kefir avocado green goddess dressing is the versatility to pair with almost anything! Here are some ideas: 

• Raw salad or vegetable sticks: lettuce, radish, watercress, kale, cucumber, celery, bell pepper
• Roasted vegetables: cauliflower, carrot, parsnip, potato, squash, eggplant, bell pepper, Brussel sprouts
• Meats: chicken, lamb, beef, pork, kabobs; any meat off the grill or roasted in the oven
• Seafoods: poached shrimp, pan-fried fish
• Make a salad bar or platter with assorted items from each of the above categories
• Use in pita wraps, fajitas and sandwiches
