Notes
Make ahead: You can make the green goddess sauce up to a few days before serving - just keep it stored in an airtight container.
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Break the feta into pieces before blending: If you skip this step, it will take a lot longer to get the green goddess to become smooth.
Fresh herbs are the key to a green goddess. You don't have to use the exact herbs in the recipe and can feel free to substitute in your favorites, just make sure to keep the amount at 2 cups total.
