Directions

Prepare the Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the avocado, Greek yogurt, parsley, basil, dill, lemon juice, and garlic. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the dip is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed. For extra creaminess, add a tablespoon of olive oil and blend again.
Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a few extra sprigs of fresh herbs, if desired. Serve with sliced veggies, chips, crackers, or as a spread for wraps or sandwiches.

Variations

Add Spices: For a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the dip.
Vegan Option: Use dairy-free yogurt (such as coconut yogurt) to make this dip completely vegan.
Herb Variations: Feel free to experiment with other herbs like chives, tarragon, or cilantro for a different flavor profile.
Cheese: For a cheesy twist, add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan or a small amount of feta cheese to the dip.

Storage/Reheating

FAQs

1. Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare this dip ahead of time. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh.

2. What can I use instead of Greek yogurt?

If you prefer a different base, you can use sour cream, regular yogurt, or even dairy-free yogurt alternatives (like cashew or coconut yogurt) for a similar creamy texture.

3. How can I make the dip spicier?

To add some heat, you can mix in a diced jalapeño, a pinch of cayenne pepper, or a few dashes of hot sauce. Adjust the level of spice to your preference.

4. Can I freeze this dip?

While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze the dip for up to 1 month. However, the texture may change once thawed, so it’s not ideal for making ahead in large batches. If freezing, allow the dip to thaw in the refrigerator and stir well before serving.

5. Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh herbs?

Fresh herbs provide the best flavor and vibrancy for this dip, but you can substitute dried herbs if needed. Use about 1/3 of the amount indicated for fresh herbs (e.g., 1 tablespoon dried parsley instead of 3 tablespoons fresh parsley).

6. Can I make this dip without garlic?

If you’re not a fan of garlic, feel free to omit it. The dip will still be flavorful from the herbs and lemon juice. You could also substitute garlic with a small amount of onion powder for a milder taste.

7. Can I serve this dip warm?

This dip is best served cold or at room temperature. The creamy texture and fresh flavors are at their best when chilled.

8. Can I use this as a salad dressing?

Yes! This Avocado Herb Green Goddess Dip also makes a great salad dressing. Simply thin it out with a little more water or lemon juice until you reach your desired consistency.

9. Can I make this dip without avocado?

While avocado adds richness and creaminess, you can try substituting it with extra Greek yogurt for a lighter texture. It will have a slightly different flavor, but still delicious.

10. How can I make this dip more tangy?

To add more tang, try increasing the amount of lemon juice or adding a splash of apple cider vinegar.
