Sunday Dinner
Poached Shrimp with Green Goddess Dip/Dressing
Grilled Butterflied Chicken
Tomato Galette
Arugula Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
I wish you could have seen the excitement on my face when my husband and I came home from walking the dogs today and found a package from Adorama on our front stoop. Talk about Christmas in July!! So, to christen my new camera body, I thought it would be fitting to feature a recipe from the gods, or in this case, a goddess. Okay, this is not a celestial recipe, but it is really good.
Green Goddess dressing (also referred to as sauce verte) is actually named after a stage play from the 1920s. A hotel chef wanted to pay tribute to the lead actor of the play with this recipe. The original version contained chives, parsley, tarragon, scallions, tarragon vinegar, mayonnaise, and anchovies; however, like many recipes, it has been adapted over the decades, and this is my adaptation.
Tonight we are enjoying it as a dip with poached shrimp. It is also delicious with crudité. If serving as a dressing over crisp greens, I just thin the mixture with a bit of water. Happy Sunday!
