"Parsley - the jewel of herbs, both in the pot and on the plate." -Albert Stockli, Cookbook author

The refrigerator light goes on...

So many of my patients talk about how they are eating healthy because they eat salads. Go and check the bottles of dressing for the amount of fat and calories. If you like salads, great. However, you need to make a few dressings that you love so that you can use more dressing without busting the calorie bank.

This is a variation of a green goddess dressing that I have been making for years. The older one calls for anchovies and makes a LOT of dressing. I wanted to create a version with the Worcestershire sauce because it is easier to use for most people and stores well. This is a great dressing for salads but is perfect on sandwiches as well instead of mayonnaise.
