Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this green dip.

I know that plain Greek yogurt is not for everyone, but it absolutely works in this recipe. It’s a healthier option than something like sour cream, and provides a tart backdrop for all of the fresh herbs, aromatics, and spices.

I also love that I can keep the ingredients on hand in my fridge and pantry. They are versatile enough that I can whip up several different sauces or dips with them, but I’m also ready for last-minute entertaining opportunities.

Instructions

A food processor next to red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and a sliced lemon.

Step 1

Add the Greek yogurt, lemon juice and red wine vinegar to your food processor.

Storage

This dip will remain good for about a week in an airtight container like a mason jar. Just be sure to give it a stir before serving.

How to make it your own

  • Increase the heat by upping the amount of red pepper flakes, a little at a time. Taste it as you go. Red pepper flakes are tiny but strong!
  • Want to add even more flavor? Add more herbs. Some fresh dill and rosemary or oregano would be super delish.
  • Make it more like chimichurri by adding some shallots and more garlic.
  • Make it more like pesto by adding in some parmesan cheese.

Tips

  • If you don’t own a food processor, no worries. You can also make this easy green dip in your blender too.
  • Don’t chop vegetables. Grab a veggie platter from the grocery store and save the dip that’s included for later.
  • If the consistency is too thick, you can add a little bit of water to thin it out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can you use instead of Greek yogurt in this green dip recipe?

Green Goddess dressing usually has mayonnaise and sour cream so you could substitute 1/2 cup of each of those instead of the Greek yogurt.

Is Green Goddess good for you?

While dip isn’t generally healthy for you, this chimichurri dip is a healthier alternative to your usual chip and dip recipe. It’s full of healthy ingredients and swapping out sour cream for Greek yogurt means it has healthy fat too.

What’s the best way to serve cold dip for a summer party?

The best way to serve cold dip for a summer party is by making sure you keep it chilled. I like to use one of these Cold Dip Bowls. It helps to keep the temperature where it needs to be. I like to serve the dip in batches so that as the temperatures rise, you can set out a fresh cold dip.
