Tea?!?

[edit]

"In the southern United States Green Goddess Dressing is commonly served on salads with a side of iced tea."

What is the point of this statement? It is a salad dressing, after all, and in the South, we serve EVERYTHING with a side of iced tea. Applejuicefool (talk) 18:22, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, but it's hilarious.giggle (talk) 18:30, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced popularity claim

[edit]

I've removed the claim in the lede that it was the most popular dressing in the western US before the advent of ranch dressing. A Google NGRAM search demonstrates that mention of Green Goddess Dressing didn't being to appear in books until the 1950s, and appeared more commonly in books only in the 1980s, which is around the time ranch dressing started to catch on: This may not itself be conclusive, but it argues against an otherwise completely unsubstantiated claim.Jbening (talk) 01:42, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

History

[edit]

Under History, no mention is made of Marie's Green Goddess dressing, which was also very popular in the late '70s-'80s. Green Goddess dressing isn't even listed on the maries.com dressings product page. I've written to Marie's to find out what happened to this "top shelf" type dressing, which was always found in the produce section itself, rather than on a shelf with the lesser dressings in the grocery store aisle. giggle (talk) 18:34, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relation to Green goddess (salad)

[edit]

How closely linked is this to Green goddess (salad)? It looks like that redirect was created in 2020 with limited sourcing to confirm it, just a few recipes on the redirect target (Watergate salad). I've seen this term come up more and more in popular usage referring to the salad itself (on social media, local cafes, etc) and it was a little unclear what the correct page to look for more information was. In any case a disambiguation hatnote back from this page is probably warranted, as even though it's a more specific title there's still ambiguity? Techhead7890 (talk) 04:44, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
