They’re back!! A few years ago, this garlic fiend fell in love with garlic scapes (seriously, how did I live 40 years without them?) Called garlic scapes, green garlic or garlic shoots, they have a short season but are worth seeking out as they are milder than garlic and taste oh so very fresh.
Traditional Green Goddess Dressing features garlic, parsley, chives, tarragon, has a mayonnaise base and uses anchovies for extra flavor. I used yogurt and avocado (it’s green after all) for the creamy base and only left out the little fishies because my pantry was bare.
