Green Goddess Avocado Dip

Green Goddess Avocado Dip!!! Light, healthy and packed with flavor, you’ll be making this Green Goddess Avocado Dip every chance you get! Enjoy with raw or roasted veggies, pita bread, crackers and more! Spread this on sandwiches and in wraps too! It’s so good!

Back in January, I did the Cooking Light 3 Day Detox and was introduced to this Green Goddess Avocado Dip. It’s so good, I can’t stop making it. I made this recipe originally (the lemon chicken citrus bowl shown below, it’s freaking delicious, you must try it!) and since then, I just make the sauce. Like, all the time.

Green Goddess Avocado Dip

This dip is super versatile. Make it thinner for a dressing, add more avocados to make it thicker. Add crushed red pepper flakes for some heat. It’s so good and can be enjoyed with so many things. The only down side is that you will be making this all the time. I wouldn’t recommend making a big batch unless you are going to eat it all in one sitting or if you are making it for a party. I just blend up 2 avocados at a time. 

This Green Goddess Avocado Dip is so good, so easy to make and so versatile! Enjoy it with raw or roasted veggies, pita bread, chips, crackers and more! Spread this on sandwiches and in wraps too! It’s so good! My current favorite way to enjoy this dip is with roasted sweet potato. Try it and let me know what you think! 

You can also make a platter of all of your favorite things like I did here. If I could eat everything off of a board, I would. A platter like this is great for entertaining, too, just like a classic cheese and charcuterie board!

Hope you try the recipe!

Green Goddess Avocado Dip

"Avocados are nutrition heavy-hitters, boasting nearly 20 vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. The fruit is also rich in fiber, heart-healthy unsaturated fats, and plant sterols which can help lower cholesterol. When blended into a bright, herbaceous sauce, they breathe life into humble rice dishes and make salads sing. Both bright from the herbs and floral from the coriander, this sauce adds color and flavor when used as a dressing or dip." - Cooking Light. Serving size: Serves 6 (serving size: about 2 tablespoons)

I made some tweaks to the original recipe.
