WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED TO MAKE AVOCADO GREEN GODDESS DIP?
Here’s what you’ll need for this fresh, herbaceous avocado green goddess dip.
Avocado – choose a large, ripe avocado and make sure it’s peeled and pitted before tossing it into the blender.
Garlic cloves – just peel and throw the whole cloves in the blender, no need to pre-chop. Always use fresh garlic!
Lemon – use both the zest and juice for brightness and balance.
Feta cheese – always choose a feta chunk in brine if possible, which will make the creamiest and best tasting dip.
Fresh basil – stuff the basil leaves into a measuring cup until it’s packed or just eyeball it, the fresh herbs really are the star here.
Fresh mint – stuff the mint leaves into a measuring cup until it’s packed.
Fresh chives – stuff the chives into a measuring cup until it’s packed.
Fresh dill – option to add more than the recommended 2 tbsp, but I suggest using less dill than the other herbs so it’s not overpowering.
Olive oil – smooths out the texture and adds richness. Make sure to choose a high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
Dijon mustard – a secret ingredient in many Greek recipes which adds a subtle tang and depth.
Sea salt & black pepper – add to taste and always adjust to your liking.
