Green Goddess Dressing
Now a classic, this creamy salad dressing was created by the chef at San Francisco’s Palace Hotel in the 1920s to honor actor George Arliss, who was starring locally in a play called Green Goddess. The dressing is excellent tossed with mixed greens, chopped cucumber, tomato and avocado.
