No sugar and no heavy oils for THIS goddess. The base of the dressing is made with coconut oil, which contains Medium Chain Triglycerides. Medium chain whaaaat, you ask? According to Wikipedia: “Medium Chain Triglycerides are generally considered a good biologically inert source of energy that is easy to metabolize. Some studies have shown that MCT’s can help in the process of excess calorie burning, and thus weight loss.”

Green Goddess dressing
Mix in food processor:
2 garlic cloves
1 cup cilantro
1/4 cup parsley
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1 Tb Dijon mustard
2 Tb Truvia
Sprinkle of kosher salt
Melt 1/2 cup coconut oil in microwave for 35 seconds. At room temperature it is congealed, so you have to melt it to mix it. Pour into food processor to emulsify and mix till blended. I prefer the refined coconut oil because if doesn’t have a strong coconut taste like unrefined does. Toss dressing on salad and enjoy! The dressing will congeal again quickly, so if you don’t plan to serve it right away, you may have to melt it down again before serving.
