Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Simple & Quick: With just 10 minutes of prep, you’re ready to impress!
Irresistible Flavor: A dreamy blend of feta, fresh herbs, and creamy avocado creates a flavor explosion.
Eye-Catching Appeal: The vibrant green color makes for a stunning addition to any snack table.
Flexible Serving: Perfect as a dip for veggies, a spread on sandwiches, or a topping on grilled meats.
Diet-Friendly Options: This dip is gluten-free and can easily be made dairy-free by substituting with vegan yogurt.

Ingredients You’ll Need

5 ounces of feta cheese: Provides a tangy, creamy base. Choose a high-quality feta for the best flavor. If you’re in a pinch, crumbled goat cheese is a good alternative.
½ cup of Greek yogurt: Adds a creamy texture and tang. You can substitute with regular yogurt or a non-dairy option if needed.
1 avocado: This gives the dip a rich, buttery texture. Opt for a perfectly ripe avocado—too firm won’t blend well, and too soft may affect the flavor.
3 cloves of garlic: Fresh garlic infuses the dip with depth. For a milder flavor, use roasted garlic instead.
1 ½ tablespoons of lemon juice: Brightens the dish with acidity. Freshly squeezed is best, but bottled will work in a pinch.
½ cup of fresh dill, packed: Dill adds a fresh herbaceous note. If you’re not a fan, feel free to substitute with parsley.
¼ cup of mint, packed: Mint lends a refreshing twist that complements the other flavors beautifully. If mint isn’t your favorite, you can skip it.
½ cup of green onions, lightly chopped: These add a mild onion flavor and crunch. Regular onions can be used, but reduce the quantity to avoid bitterness.
⅓ cup of fresh basil, packed: Basil rounds out the flavor profile with its sweet notes. Use dried basil sparingly if fresh isn’t available.
1 teaspoon of dijon mustard: This ingredient enhances flavor complexity. Regular mustard works in a pinch.
¼ cup of olive oil: Adds richness and helps to achieve a silky texture. You can replace it with avocado oil for a different flavor.
¼-½ cup of water: This is used to thin the dip to your desired consistency. A little goes a long way, so add incrementally.
Salt and pepper to taste: Be mindful of salt, as feta is already quite salty, allowing you to season to preference.

How to Make Green Goddess Yogurt Dip with Veggie Platter

Add Ingredients: Start by placing the 5 ounces of feta cheese, ½ cup of Greek yogurt, 1 avocado (pitted and skin removed), 3 cloves of garlic, 1 ½ tablespoons of lemon juice, ½ cup of fresh dill, ¼ cup of mint, ½ cup of green onions, ⅓ cup of fresh basil, and 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard into a food processor or blender.

Blend: Process the ingredients on high for about 1-2 minutes until the dip becomes creamy and only a few chunks remain. If you’re looking for a smoother dip, don’t hesitate to blend longer.

Incorporate Olive Oil: With the food processor still running, slowly drizzle in ¼ cup of olive oil. This step not only enriches the flavor but also helps in obtaining that luxurious consistency we love in dips. Blend for an additional 30 seconds.

Taste and Adjust: Now, it’s time to taste your masterpiece! You may want to add salt and black pepper to suit your preference. Remember, the feta cheese might already provide enough saltiness, so adjust carefully.

Serve and Enjoy: Transfer your dip to a serving bowl and grab those colorful veggies! Carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes are perfect for dipping. Enjoy this delightful fresh Green Goddess Yogurt Dip!

Storing & Reheating

Once you’ve savored your dip, storing leftovers is straightforward. Transfer it to an airtight container, and it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Note that the vibrant green color may fade a bit due to the avocado. If you need to freeze the dip, place it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy again, simply thaw it in the fridge and give it a good stir to refresh its texture. Although it won’t be quite the same after freezing, it will still taste delicious!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Beware of over-blending the ingredients; you want a creamy texture without losing all the delightful chunkiness.
Ensure your avocado is ripe for the best flavor and texture.
For an extra flavor boost, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce for a kick.
This dip can be made a day ahead of time! Just store it in the fridge, covered tightly.
If the dip is too thick, gradually add more water until you reach your desired consistency.

Now you have everything you need to make a delicious Green Goddess Yogurt Dip with Veggie Platter! The combination of creamy feta, fresh herbs, and vibrant vegetables makes it a treat everyone will love. Not to mention, it’s speedy to prepare, making it a great go-to for unexpected guests or planned gatherings.
