Green Goddess Chip Dip

Anchovies, chives, parsley, wine vinegar, sour cream, the original Green Goddess Dressing was created by Chef Phillip Roemer of San Francisco's Palace Hotel in 1923 for a banquet in honor of actor George Arliss who was starring in William Archer's play, “The Green Goddess.” Add some minced garlic and zowie-wowie! It becomes a potent chip dip like this one from a 1940s “Let's Eat Red Dot Potato Chips” company flyer. Go the full monty and make the mayonnaise from scratch too.

Makes about a pint
