If you’re a fan of Sweetgreen, salads, or ranch, you’re in luck. In 2021, the salad chain revealed how to make its beloved green goddess ranch dressing on TikTok and the DIY lunch game hasn’t been the same since. The dressing – which is perfectly creamy and herby – is a key ingredient in the chain’s fan favorite BBQ Chicken Salad and Super Green Goddess Salad. And now, thanks to the recipe reveal, you can pair it with any salad you make at home.
You’ll probably be in good company, too. With more than 17,000 likes, the TikTok featuring the recipe got a lot of attention from Sweetgreen fans, spawning countless other copycat recipes and “I Tried It” videos.
Naturally, we wanted to try it out, too – but the video didn’t specify exact measurements, so we checked out Pinterest for the complete Sweetgreen green goddess dressing recipe. After a very delicious test run, we can officially confirm it’s the real thing.
If you’re wanting to try some for yourself (or make a giant vat to keep in your fridge at all times), read on for the full green goddess ranch dressing recipe from Sweetgreen. Even though these are the exact measurements shared by the brand, don’t hesitate to adjust the ingredients based on your preferences or taste buds – that’s the beauty of making condiments from scratch. Enjoy!
