Little Gem Lettuce With Green Goddess Dressing Recipe

  • 2 oil-packed anchovy fillets, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup (loosely packed) basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons parsley leaves with tender stems
  • 2 tablespoons tarragon leaves
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more
  • Kosher salt
  • 6 heads of Little Gem lettuce, cores removed, leaves separated
  • 2 small watermelon radishes, trimmed, thinly sliced
  1. Blend anchovies, garlic, mayonnaise, sour cream, basil, parsley, tarragon, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, and 4 1/2 tsp. oil in a blender until smooth with only a few flecks of green; season dressing with salt.
  2. Combine lettuce, radishes, and remaining 1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. lemon juice in a large bowl, drizzle with oil, and season with salt; toss to combine.
  3. Top salad with a few spoonfuls of dressing; reserve remaining dressing for another use (like a turkey sandwich!).
  4. Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
