This easy creamy Green Goddess Dip is great on a sandwich or with veggies. Made with fresh herbs, it is sure to please!
This Green Goddess Dip will elevate your sandwich to the next level. It pairs nicely with crudités.
It only takes about 5 minutes to make and can be made the day before. It's actually best when it sits overnight so that it can thicken up.
I am a huge fan of Green Goddess Dressing, which is the inspiration for this dip.
This vegan dip is perfect for Summer. If you're a gardener, you're going to want this recipe in your repertoire.
For something sweet, try my dairy-free fruit dip. A sweet and spicy dip to try is my Black Bean Chipotle Dip.

🧾 Ingredients
- Vegan mayo: Adds a rich creamy flavor.

- Fresh parsley, tarragon, and basil: Add the herby flavor Green Goddess is known for. You could switch up the herbs for your favorites.
- Fresh chives: Add a mild onion and garlic flavor.

What Does Tarragon Taste Like?
Of all the herbs in a Green Goddess Dip, tarragon is the least well-known, so you may be wondering what it tastes like.
It has a slight licorice flavor, with sweet and bitter notes. It has the same compound in it that is in anise and fennel.

💭 Tips
- If you let the dip sit in the fridge overnight it thickens up to a nice thick consistency.
- As always, taste as you go. You may want more or less of an herb than I've listed.
- With the amount of herbs that are in a package, I was able to make 2 batches of this recipe. If you don't want to make 2 batches, you could add the extra herbs to a salad or make my Tofu Tarragon Salad with the extra tarragon, and make my Vegan Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese with the parsley and chives.
🍽 Serving
- Serve it with veggies, chips, slices of toasted baguette, or crackers.
- As a dipping sauce for French fries.
- Slather it in a Green Goddess Veggie Sandwich.
- Drizzle it over roasted vegetables.
- Use it in a potato salad.

Hi! I don’t have fresh tarragon but I do have fresh fennel. Could I grate a bit of fennel and use that in place of tarragon? Do you think that would work?
Willow Moon says
That would probably work. I would definitely start with a small amount.
