This healthy 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. It's a great way to use some of the herbs in the herb garden.

For something sweet, try my dairy-free fruit dip. A sweet and spicy dip to try is my Black Bean Chipotle Dip.

What Does Tarragon Taste Like?

Of all the green 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.

❤️ Why You'll Love It

This healthy dip is super easy to make.
It is versatile. Use it in a sandwich or add some plant-based milk and make it into a dressing.
Made with lots of fresh herbs, it is healthy and packed with flavor.

🧾 Ingredients

Vegan mayo: Adds a rich creamy flavor.
Vegan sour cream: Adds a tangy creamy flavor.
Fresh basil, tarragon, and parsley: 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. You could also use green onions.
Lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice is best. Store-bought lemon juice contains additives, so I do not recommend it.
Fresh garlic: Adds a pungent flavor.
Mustard: Dijon mustard or yellow mustard will work.
Salt and black pepper: Enhances flavors and adds flavor. I use sea salt.

💭 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 raw veggies, potato chips, tortilla chips, pita chips, slices of toasted baguette, or crackers.
As a dipping sauce for spicy French fries.
Slather it in a Green Goddess Veggie Sandwich.
Drizzle it over roasted vegetables.
Use it in a potato salad.
