Spicy Green Goddess Sauce

This summer, add a tasty and spicy spin to your backyard burger bar with this nutritious and tasty, Spicy Green Goddess Sauce ~ it is delicious slathered on burgers as well as a dipping sauce for fries.

With just a handful of ingredients, this Spicy Green Goddess Sauce is one tasty addition to your burger buffet! This sauce is made with wholesome ingredients such as:
– spinach,
– chickpeas,
– cilantro,
– water,
– olive oil,
– jalapeno, and

This tastebud tingling sauce also doubles as a dipping sauce as well as a slathering sauce!

With daytime temperatures quickly climbing into the mid-70s F and 80s F (20s C) here in Athens, GA, it is time to break out the grill, invite friends and family over and throw a burger bar get-together!

My burger bar always has an array of MorningStar Farms® burgers on it! Speaking of burgers, the other night my daughter and I were talking about our favorite vegetarian burgers and I realized that MorningStar Farms® burgers have been a staple of mine since my college years!  Now, my daughter is a sophomore in college, and MorningStar Farms® burgers are her go to when she is looking for a healthier, better-for-her lunch or dinner option, as well!

I usually like to keep things simple at summer get-togethers, so, I head to my neighborhood grocery store to pick up items for my Burger Bar such as chickpeas, chips such as Cheez-it® Snap’d™, Hellmann’s® Ketchup, and Mayonnaise, Cerveza Dos Equis Lager Especial Mexican Beer, and ingredients for a sauce such as this Spicy Green Goddess Sauce.

I also make sure to pick up a variety of MorningStar Farms® products like a pack of MorningStar Farms® Meat Lovers Burgers and MorningStar Farms® Veggie Bacon Strips.

In my opinion, the MorningStar Farms® Meat Lovers Burger has such an epic “meaty” texture!  And, crisped up MorningStar Farms® Veggie Bacon Strips taste so much like real bacon! In fact, my daughter prefers MorningStar Farms® Veggie Bacon Strips to real bacon, at breakfast as well as on her burgers – even though she isn’t a vegetarian anymore.

For spice lovers like my mom, I included a Spicy Green Goddess Sauce. Like MorningStar Farms® products, this sauce is made with better-for-me ingredients such as spinach, chickpeas, cilantro, water, olive oil, jalapeno, and lime juice! It doubles as a dipping sauce as well as a slathering sauce.

Very often we dip nachos or fries into this sauce. This Spicy Green Goddess Sauce is also delicious smothered on a MorningStar Farms® Meat Lovers Burger and topped with some MorningStar Farms® Veggie Bacon Strips and Hellmann’s® Ketchup. Then you can chase it down with a tall, cold, Cerveza Dos Equis Lager Especial Mexican Beer!
