Ingredients
- 1 large hass avocado, pitted
- 1 cup of unsweetened plant-based almond milk yogurt (I used kite hill)
- ¼ cup of parsley, chopped
- ¼ cup of basil, chopped
- ¼ cup of chives, minced
- 1 tablespoon of hemp oil
- 2 teaspoons of capers
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ teaspoon of white pepper
Steps
1.) Gather all the ingredients for the dip.
2.) Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
3.) Serve the dip with your favorite vegetables and crackers on a big platter or charcuterie board. Enjoy!
Tips
- Storing and shelf life: keep in an airtight container or a mason jar for up to 3 days or until the green hue of the avocado in the dip oxidizes in the refrigerator.
- Mincing the chives, parsley, basil and garlic before blending everything together will avoid big clumps of garlic and stringy herbs in your dip.
- If you are okay with dairy, go ahead and use your favorite brand of unsweetened plain yogurt from cow’s milk.
Q&A
- What other types of plant-based yogurts can I use if I cannot find almond milk yogurt? There are plenty of vegan brands of yogurt out there nowadays so if you can’t find the kite hill brand I used in this recipe, try using another unsweetened plain yogurt made from plant milks like cashew milk yogurt, coconut milk yogurt, soy milk yogurt or hemp milk yogurt. Personally, I think almond milk yogurt tastes the best in this recipe, but feel free to taste all other possible combos!
- Can I use other green herbs in this recipe? Cilantro, tarragon, dill and chervil work great in this green goddess dip too.
