Green Goddess Dip is a simple and fast veggie dip that is bright, fresh, and full of flavor. A variety of fresh herbs, a kick of spice, and a zip of citrus combine with creamy Greek yogurt to create a snack that you’ll want to make again and again.
You’ll be amazed at how many veggies you eat when there’s a batch of this dip around! It’s got everything! Cilantro, parsley, mint, and basil are all blended together in this recipe to create a flavor that pairs perfectly with produce!

Simple Green Goddess Dip Recipe
- Blend the dip. Just toss everything (save for half the yogurt) into the bowl of a food processor and give it a whirl! A high-powered blender would also work.
- Stir in the yogurt. Reserving half of it will help to give the dip great texture and body.
- Chill the dip. For at least 30 minutes. Just to let all the flavors meld.
- Serve the dip. With loads of fresh veggies! Taste the rainbow, y’all.
Add all of the ingredients to a food processor. Blend until smooth. Stir in reserved Greek yogurt and chill. Serve with fresh vegetables for a great snack!
Recipe Tips
Some like it hot. And some don’t! That’s ok! If you’re not a fan of spice, use half of a jalapeño instead of a whole one. Also, be sure to remove and discard the ribs and seeds as that’s where the real heat lives.
It’s all Greek to me. I love, love, LOVE using full-fat Greek yogurt in dips and spreads. It’s got a very similar flavor and consistency to sour cream, with less calories and more protein per serving. Of course, if you don’t like Greek yogurt or don’t have it, swap in an equal amount of sour cream!
When life gives you lemons. Make this recipe! You can totally swap out the lime juice for fresh lemon juice if that’s the only citrus you have on hand. It will still be unbelievably delish!

Looking forward to trying this recipe. The last green goddess dip I made had a lot of tarragon and it was too perfumed and overpowered it. I see this one doesn’t have tarragon, I think I’ll like it more!
I sure hope you enjoy this recipe, Lori! It's hard for me to find tarragon at my local stores and I've discovered I enjoy the dip (and dressing!) more without it! Thanks again for reading!
