I love making my own dip recipes, like my Cottage Cheese Dip, Zaalouk (Moroccan Eggplant Dip), or Whipped Feta Dip. They can be made with all sorts of flavor, texture, and ingredients. They make any dinner ever more delicious when served with raw vegetables, roasted vegetables, or a few homemade pita chips.

The Green Goddess Dip is a creamy Greek yogurt cheese dip that gets its color from a blend of fresh herbs like parsley, basil, dill, chill, or mint. It’s similar to the famous Green Goddess Salad, which has been everywhere on TikTok. This refreshing salad mixes green herbs and vegetables.

Ingredients and Substitutions

The key to making delicious green dips is to use fresh, vibrant herbs to turn your dip into a flavorsome recipe packed with nutrients and fresh flavors.

• Plain Greek Yogurt – This recipe must use thick full-fat Greek yogurt. Low-fat plain yogurt is too thin and turns into a liquid soup. You won’t get a thick creamy texture using this kind of yogurt.
• Feta Cheese – Any kind of feta goat cheese, cow feta, or even dairy-free feta cheese works.
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Lemon Juice – Freshly squeezed lemon juice tastes much better.
• Fresh Parsley
• Fresh Dill
• Fresh Mint
• Fresh Basil
• Garlic
• Sea Salt
• Pepper

How To Make Green Goddess Dip

This Green Goddess dipping sauce is very easy to make using only a few ingredients and a food processor or high-speed blender. Simply place all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. You don’t need to finely chop the herbs before adding them. You can even keep their stems for the best flavors.

1. In the bowl of the food processor, add the Greek yogurt, feta, olive oil, lemon juice, fresh herbs, whole peeled garlic cloves, salt, and pepper in the food processor.
2. Then, process on medium speed until all the ingredients come together into a thick and creamy green dip. Depending on how you like your dip, you can adjust its texture and green color.
3. For a thicker dip, add more feta cheese and blend to incorporate. Another option is to add some tahini as one or two tablespoons thicken the dip very well. For a thinner texture, add some water or more yogurt.
4. Finally, to enhance the green color of the dip, add more herbs. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

You can serve this dip straight away after making it or store it for a few hours in the fridge. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent the top of the dip from drying out. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, chili powder, or chili flakes for a spicy note and some extra fresh chopped parsley.
