Green Goddess Buttermilk Dressing
 
 
If you’ve made a batch of creamy soy buttermilk, it’s a cinch to make a beautiful, fragrant green goddess dressing. Scented with tarragon and chives, the secret to this delicious, pretty pastel green goddess is the buttermilk. Its live cultures give it its rich, luscious flavor and texture.  All green goddess buttermilk’s components carry a very low carbon footprint.
 
Prep time 5 minutes
Makes 1 cup
 
1 cup homemade soy cultured buttermilk
2 teaspoons fresh tarragon leaves, stems removed, cut in small pieces
3 teaspoons fresh chive leaves, cut in small pieces
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, thick stems removed, cut in small pieces
1 small clove garlic, smashed
1 ½ teaspoons white wine vinegar
½ teaspoon wakame fronds, ground, or to taste
2 scallions, whites and greens, cut in a medium dice
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
2 teaspoons shiro (mild, white) miso paste, or to taste
 
To create the wakame powder, add the seaweed to a coffee or spice grinder, and run for 30 seconds or until the dried fronds are reduced to a fine powder. Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender. Run at high speed for a minute. Scape down sides of the bowl and repeat. Taste and correct any seasonings as you like.
