These vibrant green herb biscuits were inspired by the iconic, herbaceous salad dressing known as Green Goddess, which was invented at San Francisco’s Palace Hotel in 1923. The impossible-to-miss color comes from spinach, basil, and parsley, which all get blended with buttermilk and a bit of mayonnaise. The mayonnaise, originally added as an ode to the dressing, happens to bring a lovely lightness, and it helps to both balance and accentuate the flavors of the herbs.
