Turn yourself into a chef and combine these fresh ingredients together making the most irresistible dip yet! Prepare all your pantry staple ingredients with your fresh veggies making this the best combination. You can’t go wrong with this green goddess dip recipe. This dip is popular for good reason!
- Cabbage – Cabbage makes a great base for this green goddess dip. It doesn’t get soggy like other lettuces and it provides a mild backdrop for the other amazing flavors in this dip.
- Persian cucumbers – Use Persian cucumbers instead of regular because they have smaller seeds and thinner skin.
- Green onions – If you want a milder green onion taste, use just the green ends. For more onion flavor, add the white parts as well.
- Garlic – Whole, fresh, peeled garlic clove works best, but you can use pre-minced in a pinch.
- Shallot – Shallots come in various sizes, try to use a smaller shallot in this recipe. Make sure to peel off any papery skin.
- Lemon juice – Lemon brings a bright and tangy flavor to the dressing.
- Extra virgin olive oil – Make sure to use fresh, high-quality olive oil, since it gets eaten fresh.
- Chives – Fresh chives add a subtle herby flavor.
- Rice vinegar – Rice vinegar brings just a little bit of acidity to balance the other flavors.
- Walnuts – Nuts add substance to the dressing as well as a subtle nutty flavor.
- Basil – Basil is a sweet, herby addition to the dressing.
- Spinach – Using spinach as the base of the green goddess dressing adds so many nutrients!
- Nutritional yeast – Nutritional yeast adds a deeper umami, cheesy flavor. If you don’t have nutritional yeast, then you can substitute grated parmesan cheese.

How to Eat Green Goddess Dip
When Baked By Melissa introduced us all to this recipe, she showed herself eating the green goddess dip with blue corn chips. That is the way I like it best. However, I have also dipped tortilla chips, pita chips, and pretzel thins. This also tastes great on a veggie burger taco or tostada
Recipe Tip
For your green goddess dip to be dip-able, make sure you dice the cabbage, cucumbers, and onions very finely. If the chunks are too big, then it won’t stay on your chip.
