Chef Aarón Sánchez talks elevating the Green Goddess Dressing with Herdez Avocado Hot Sauce and more – Interview
When it comes to Chef Aarón Sánchez, there are a lot of things that come to mind. From his cooking to his work on TV, it is all about his passion for food.
And when we learned that the chef was working with HERDEZ to take the Green Goddess Dressing and Salad to a whole new level, we needed to know more. Luckily for us, we not only got a chance to check out Sanchez’s recipe, we also got an opportunity to speak to him about his work, his passion for food, social media trends, and even his guilty eat.
But of course, as much as Aarón Sánchez is a cooking star on our screens, it is definitely his take on the Tik Tok viral Green Goddess Salad that is the star of the show. So how did he elevate the Green Goddess Salad?

In the press email we received featuring the recipe itself, we learned that Aarón Sánchez’s creation will feed four to six people (which is amazing for a small gathering) and will take up to 10 minutes of prep time. Once it is prepped, it will take between 25 to 35 minutes of cooking time.
