Learn the vivid green, herb-packed American classic — genuinely different from ranch.

A vivid green, herb-packed American classic — genuinely different from ranch despite the similar creamy base.

Makes about 4 servings

Ingredients

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup sour cream
• ½ cup fresh parsley, packed
• 2 fresh chives
• 1 anchovy fillet
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• ¼ tsp salt

Steps

1. Combine everything — Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor.
2. Blend until smooth — Blend until smooth and vividly green, scraping down the sides as needed.

Tip: The single anchovy fillet adds deep savory umami without tasting fishy — it dissolves into the background. Leave it out for a vegetarian version.
