Ingredients You’ll Need

5 ounces of feta cheese: This creamy, tangy cheese adds depth and a slight saltiness to the dip. If you want a dairy-free option, try using a non-dairy cream cheese in its place.
½ cup of Greek yogurt or yogurt of choice: Greek yogurt gives a thick, creamy texture; feel free to substitute with regular yogurt if desired.
1 avocado: Ripe avocados contribute creaminess and healthy fats. Make sure it’s perfectly ripe for the best flavor.
3 cloves of garlic: Fresh garlic provides a robust flavor. You can use roasted garlic for a milder taste.
1 ½ tablespoons of lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice brightens the dip and balances the flavors nicely. Avoid bottled lemon juice for a fresher taste.
½ cup of fresh dill, packed: Dill adds an aromatic, herbal freshness that defines the dip. If you can’t find fresh dill, swap in 1 tablespoon of dried dill.
¼ cup of mint, packed: Mint lends a refreshing note; however, you can omit it if you prefer a more traditional flavor.
½ cup of green onions, lightly chopped: These add a mild onion flavor and a bit of crunch. Regular onions can be used, but they will be stronger.
⅓ cup of fresh basil, packed: Basil adds a sweet, peppery flavor that complements the rest of the ingredients. Substitute with parsley if you’re out of basil.
1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard: This ingredient deepens the flavor profile. If you’re sensitive to mustard, feel free to leave it out.
¼ cup of olive oil: Olive oil drizzled in at the final blending stage gives the dip a rich, smooth texture.
¼-½ cup of water to thin: Depending on your desired thickness, add water gradually to achieve the perfect creamy consistency.
Salt and pepper to taste: Season according to your preference; the feta is already salty, so taste before adding.

How to Make Green Goddess Yogurt Dip with Veggie Platter

Combine Ingredients: Start by adding all the ingredients except for the olive oil into a food processor or blender. You can hold off on the salt for now since the feta will add a salty dimension on its own.

Blend Until Smooth: Pulse the mixture on high for about 1-2 minutes or until it reaches a creamy consistency, with very few chunks remaining. This is where the magic happens—the flavors will start to meld together beautifully.

Drizzle in Olive Oil: While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in ¼ cup of olive oil. This not only enhances the creaminess but gives it a lovely sheen. Blend for another 30 seconds until beautifully combined.

Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Once blended, taste your dip. Feel free to season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, depending on your taste.

Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the dip into a bowl and serve it alongside your favorite veggie platter or crackers. It’s ready to be enjoyed!

Storing & Reheating

Store the leftover Green Goddess Yogurt Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. As it sits, the color may slightly darken due to the avocado, but the flavor will still be delightful. If you’re looking to keep it fresh longer, consider freezing it for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator and give it a good stir before serving.

Recipe FAQs

Can I make this dip vegan?

Absolutely! You can substitute the feta cheese with a vegan cream cheese and use a dairy-free yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt. The result will be just as delicious!

How can I make this dip spicier?

If you’re craving a bit of heat, incorporate some diced jalapeño or a teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce. Adjust the amount to match your spice preference!

While fresh herbs offer the best flavor, you can use dried herbs in a pinch. Typically, you’d use about 1 tablespoon of dried herbs for every ½ cup of fresh herbs. Just keep in mind that the flavor will vary slightly.
