Green Goddess Dip
Green Goddess Dip is Edible Magic!
It comes together in 5 minutes! Just throw everything into your blender or food processor.
No cooking is required. It’s hot enough in the summer, so who wants to turn on their stoves? This Green Goddess Dip is a great way to bring flavor to a simple meal that doesn’t add heat to your house.
You are going to want to dip all the veggies in it. And drizzle it on all the salads, Buddha bowls and grain dishes.
It is a great use of those summer herbs. Use up herbs that you bought for other summer recipes that you don’t want to see go to waste.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Course: Condiment
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 64kcal
Equipment: blender or food processor
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt I suggest full-fat or 2% for the best flavor
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon honey optional
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup packed chopped fresh parsley, cilantro, or a combination of both
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped chives or scallion
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill, basil, or a combination of both
Instructions:
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor or blender. Blend until the herbs are very finely chopped and no large pieces remain. Scrape down the sides and blend again for a few seconds to ensure everything is well incorporated.
- Taste the dip and add more salt and some ground black pepper as needed.
- Serve dip immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Suggested Adaptations
Need dairy-free? You can use a dairy-free unsweetened, plain yogurt instead. I would suggest a cashew or soy yogurt versus coconut, as coconut carries a strong flavor that would not jive with the herbs in this Green Goddess Dip.
To thin the dip out and use as a dressing, blend in a tablespoon of water at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
Love fresh garlic flavor? Feel free to use 1 clove of peeled garlic in this dip instead of the garlic powder. Smash the clove and roughly chop it before adding it to the food processor with the other ingredients.
Add avocado. Sub 1/2 cup of the yogurt in this green goddess dip with 1 ripe and pitted medium avocado. This just got extra creamy, dreamy, and veggie-loaded!
