Ingredients You’ll Need

5 ounces feta cheese: This salty cheese adds creaminess and depth. If you prefer a vegan option, try using tofu feta or nutritional yeast for a similar zing.
½ cup Greek yogurt: The yogurt provides a smooth texture. Feel free to substitute with any yogurt you enjoy!
1 avocado: This creamy fruit amps up the richness. Ensure it’s ripe for the best flavor!
3 cloves garlic: Fresh garlic brings a punch of flavor, and you can adjust the amount based on your preference.
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice: This tangy juice balances the richness and adds brightness. Freshly squeezed is always best!
½ cup fresh dill, packed: Dill offers a refreshing herbaceous flavor. If you’re not a fan, a little parsley works well too.
¼ cup mint, packed: Fresh mint adds a unique twist; if unavailable, try basil as a substitute.
½ cup green onions, lightly chopped: These provide a mild onion flavor; regular onions can be used if you prefer a stronger taste.
⅓ cup fresh basil, packed: Basil contributes an aromatic quality. You can replace it with any soft herb you love.
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard: It adds depth and complexity to the dip.
¼ cup olive oil: This enriches the dip and helps to create a smooth consistency.
¼-½ cup water: This helps to thin the dip to your preferred consistency.
Salt and pepper to taste: Since feta is salty, taste first before adding additional salt.

How to Make Green Goddess Yogurt Dip with Veggie Platter

Combine Ingredients: Begin by adding all of the ingredients EXCEPT the olive oil to a food processor or blender. Start with ¼ cup of water; you can adjust the amount later if needed to achieve the desired consistency.

Blend Until Smooth: Pulse the mixture on high for 1-2 minutes, until it’s luxuriously creamy and nearly chunk-free. Keep an eye on it—if things are looking too thick, a little more water helps to loosen it.

Incorporate Olive Oil: With the processor running, very slowly drizzle in ¼ cup of olive oil. This step makes everything silky and helps the flavors meld beautifully over the next 30 seconds.

Taste and Season: Once blended, give your dip a taste to check for seasoning. You may find the feta provides enough salt, but feel free to sprinkle in some black pepper for an extra kick.

Serve and Enjoy: Transfer your vibrant dip to a bowl, and enjoy immediately with an assortment of colorful veggies or crackers. It’s hard to resist diving right in!

Storing & Reheating

Green Goddess Yogurt Dip can be stored at room temperature for up to an hour during a gathering. For longer storage, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it stays fresh for about 5 days. If you want to make it in advance, consider freezing it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Just be aware that the texture might change slightly when thawed, so give it a good stir before serving to refresh it!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overmixing after adding olive oil. You want to maintain a bit of texture.
Make sure your avocado is perfectly ripe for maximum creaminess.
Experiment with herbs—feel free to swap dill or basil with whatever fresh herbs you enjoy.
To prevent browning, sprinkle the top of your dip with a little lemon juice before sealing.
When serving, keep the dip in the fridge until the last minute to keep it chilled and fresh.

Enjoy experimenting with this luscious dip, and don’t hesitate to try different veggies or even roasted potatoes as dippers!
