Green Goddess Dip

Dip

Dips are one of my favorite things to eat.  But I prefer easy dips!  Serving a light dip is even better!
I made this Green Goddess dip in about 5 minutes! This is such a great dip when you are short on time but need to entertain!

When it comes to dipping sauces, I do think ranch takes the number one spot.   I am not a huge fan of ranch dressing, so when it comes to a good dip for veggies, Green Goddess Dip is my go-to dip.  The fact that this dip takes about 5 minutes to prepare makes it even more appealing.

What Is Green Goddess?

Green goddess is usually a salad dressing that is made with mayo, garlic, anchovies, parsley, and green onions.  The parsley lends this dressing its green color, and a splash of lemon juice thins out the mixture and adds a fresh taste to it all.  This dip is based on that lovely green dressing, but I changed things up a bit to suit my taste and to make this more of a dip than a dressing.,

How To Make Green Goddess Dip

As I mentioned above, this dip literally takes 5 minutes to throw together.  The ingredients are pretty mainstream, so you may have them readily available.  This is such a great dip to use for entertaining especially if you are short on time!

For the recipe, I place one avocado in a food processor and add lemon juice, parsley, mayo, plain Greek yogurt, and basil.  The mixture blends together nice and creamy.  From here, all you have to do is add some salt to taste!

How To Make Green Goddess Dressing?

If you wanted to turn this dip into a salad dressing, that can easily be done by adding a little more lemon juice and or reducing the amount of yogurt called for in this recipe. 

Is Green Goddess Whole30?

No, but there are a few simple things you can use to change that.  You can use non-dairy yogurt in place of the Greek yogurt.  You can also use a Whole 30 approved mayo.  A final option is to only use avocado, herbs, and lemon juice in this recipe.

Is Green Goddess Healthy?

This green goddess dip is heart healthy with its fresh avocado and the Greek yogurt adds a bit of protein.  To keep this dip light and figure friendly use a light mayo or a Paleo-friendly mayo.

What To Serve With Green Goddess Dip?

Serve a variety of vegetables with this dip or crackers, chips or even toasted pita rounds.

  1. I am ALL about dips. Especially dips that can make me feel good about myself and not feel like I jsut ate a brick. Because yes, I can eat my weight in any dip! Especially when veggies or crackers are involved. This looks wonderful! I love that avocado and greek yogurt are present!

  4. We are on the same wavelength again – Trippy! I have been making some dip/dressing variations with Chobani too (mine are with different flavors). I’ve never tried the green goddess flavor, store bought or homemade. Looks delicious! And, I could totally just eat snacks, appetizers and desserts too!

  14. Tanya, I’m such a ‘dipper’ with anything and wish I could eat dessert for a meal everyday. But when we have little ones…guess we have to be an example! I love the name of this dip! AND I gave it some PIN action! (=
