This week’s recipe for Cook the Book Fridays comes from Dorie Greenspan’s latest cookbook, Everyday Dorie and is actually a combination of two recipes – Dorie’s “Demi-Goddess” dressing and a cold vegetable soup (or “sipper” or “shot” which I think are more appropriate than “soup” for this recipe).
So yeah before you make the soup, you make a dressing – a “Demi” Green Goddess dressing because it’s made with buttermilk and yoghurt instead of mayonnaise so it’s lighter. Other ingredients include: white balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, avocado, cucumber, garlic. mixed herbs and scallions. Dorie suggests that you can use it as a dressing on vegetables, on steamed fish, chicken, burgers (pretty much anywhere, seems very versatile!) or just as a dip with crudités.
The dressing is, indeed, delicious on its own but the soup doubles up on some of the ingredients and adds zucchini (and a little more liquid so it’s not so thick). I made a tiny portion of this to add to my lunch on a warm day and it was really lovely (I used lots of mint which I think is key, especially in hot weather). Would I make this again? Maybe if I had leftover Green Goddess Dressing. What a perfect use of leftovers combined with ingredients you probably have on hand in the hot weather!
Get the recipe for Dorie Greenspan’s Green Goddess Sipper, Soup or Shots on page 84 of Everyday Dorie.

You make it sounds so refreshing!!
I’m equally as excited to have some leftover demi green goddess dressing I can use as dips.
Yes, it was hard to minify that too much so I have some leftovers now for dips too!
Lucky you that you had leftover dressing. Your flowers in the soup are very cute.
Oh I didn’t have leftover dressing. I had to make both components. I simply meant that if one DID have leftovers this is a nice way to use it up!
i like the concept and the dressing is for sure a yummy one. your sippers look so pretty with the chive flowers!
