Equipment

  • Food processor or blender

Ingredients
  

  • 3 green onions
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 large cloves garlic (about 1 tablespoon minced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ tablespoon honey*
  • ⅓ cup olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to the food processor except for mayonnaise, honey, and oil.
  • Process until all ingredients are finely chopped in the food processor, pulsing and scraping down the sides as necessary.
  • Add mayonnaise and honey. Process until creamy and well-combined.
  • With the food processor running, slowly stream in oil until it’s all gone and the dressing is emulsified.
  • Serve or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy as a dip, sandwich spread, or salad dressing.

Notes

*Avoid giving honey to children under the age of one.
  • If you want to use frozen spinach, you will only need about half as much, since frozen spinach is compressed and a little goes a long way.
  • To make this recipe vegan, use a vegan mayonnaise and your favorite alternative to honey, such as agave.
  • If the dressing thickens in the refrigerator, you can whisk in a little cold water, additional lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar to loosen it up to your liking for an easily-pourable salad dressing consistency.
