Ingredients You’ll Need

5 ounces of feta cheese: Provides a tangy, creamy base and a rich flavor.
½ cup of Greek yogurt (or yogurt of choice): Adds a smooth texture and a nice tang; can substitute with dairy-free yogurt if desired.
1 avocado: Contributes creaminess and healthy fats. Make sure it’s ripe for the best texture.
3 cloves of garlic: Brings a punch of flavor; feel free to adjust to your taste.
1 ½ tablespoons of lemon juice: Brightens the flavor and balances the richness.
½ cup of fresh dill: Offers a fresh, herby note that is key to the Green Goddess vibe.
¼ cup of mint: Adds a refreshing twist. If you’re not a mint fan, you can skip it.
½ cup of green onions: Provide a mild onion flavor; chives can be a good substitute.
⅓ cup of fresh basil: Infuses a sweet, aromatic element; leaves should be packed for maximum flavor.
1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard: Adds depth and enhances the flavor profile.
¼ cup of olive oil: Gives a smooth consistency, add more or less for your preferred texture.
¼-½ cup of water: Helps achieve the desired creaminess; adjust based on your texture preference.
Salt and pepper to taste: Optional, as the feta adds significant saltiness already.

How to Make Green Goddess Yogurt Dip with Veggie Platter

Blend Ingredients: Add all ingredients except for the olive oil to a food processor or blender. Since the feta cheese is salty, hold off on adding additional salt until you taste the dip later. Start by pouring in ¼ cup of water, knowing you can add more if you want a thinner dip.

Creamy Texture: Blend on high for about 1-2 minutes. You want your dip to be creamy with minimal chunks remaining. Once you achieve that gorgeous texture, slowly drizzle in the olive oil while the blender is running. This will help emulsify the dip and make it even creamier. Blend for an additional 30 seconds.

Taste and Adjust: Now for the fun part—taste your dip! At this stage, check if you want to add any salt or black pepper to enhance the flavor. Just remember that the feta is already quite salty, so you may find you won’t need much at all.

Serve and Enjoy: Transfer your stunning Green Goddess Yogurt Dip into a bowl, serve it with a colorful platter of fresh veggies, and watch it disappear!

Storing & Reheating
If you happen to have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The dip may darken slightly due to the avocado, but it will still taste delicious! Unfortunately, this dip isn’t suited for freezing as the texture can change dramatically, but it’s so quick to make, you can whip up a fresh batch anytime!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoiding lumps in your dip is crucial; ensure all ingredients are well-blended.
If you prefer a thicker consistency, start with less water and add only as needed.
Use room temperature ingredients for better blending; this helps all flavors meld together beautifully.
To keep leftovers vibrant, press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface before sealing the container.
For extra zesty flavor, consider adding a splash of hot sauce or some cayenne pepper to give this dip a little kick!

What veggies should I serve with it?

Carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes are all fantastic choices! You can choose any fresh, crunchy vegetables you love.

How can I make this dip vegan?

To make this dip vegan, substitute the feta cheese with a plant-based feta or simply leave it out entirely. You might want to add a touch more lemon juice for acidity.

Why did my dip turn brown?

The avocado in the dip can oxidize and turn brown after being exposed to air. To prevent this, store it tightly covered, and consider adding some extra lemon juice to help slow down oxidation.
