    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

    Green Goddess Dip ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • 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.
    • Thin it down for a green goddess salad dressing

      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?

        That would probably work. I would definitely start with a small amount.
