This healthy Green Goddess Dip Recipe has 30 grams of 💪 protein and is so easy to make. It’s no secret that cottage cheese is having its moment. I love cottage cheese in dips, in pancakes, in eggs, as ice cream, and anywhere that I can completely hide or transform it. If you have protein or weight-loss goals, this is the recipe you need. You can enjoy this dip with grain-free tortilla chips, with crunchy veggies, such as 🥕 carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers, or use it as a spread in sandwiches or wraps.
Why You’ll Love This Green Goddess Dip Recipe
This Green Goddess Dip Recipe is made with cottage cheese: a protein powerhouse ingredient that is completely undetectable here! This dip is seriously creamy and packed with fresh 🌿 herby flavors that totally hide the fact that it’s a healthy snack. It’s also really customizable as you can adjust all the ingredients according to your preferences and what you have on hand. I love this dip for meal prep, too. You can keep it in the fridge for the week and add it to your lunch with veggies, use it as a spread for 🥪 sandwiches or wraps, or serve it alongside a grilled protein, as you would a chimichurri sauce.
How to Prepare
🌿 To a food processor, add the parsley, dill, garlic, jalapeño (if using), and sweet green pepper and process until smooth. It’s important to add these first to avoid a chunky dip.
🥑 After the veggies are processed, then add the cottage cheese, salt, lemon juice, and avocado.
🍋 Blend until smooth and taste and adjust for seasoning. Check for salt, and lemon juice, and adjust to taste.
🥕 Serve as a dip, with veggies, or any way you like! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Nonna’s Tip 🥄

Common Questions
Yes, you can substitute cottage cheese with ricotta cheese or Greek yogurt if you prefer. The texture and flavor will differ slightly, but it will still be creamy and delicious.
Fresh herbs provide a vibrant flavor and texture in this Green Goddess Dip Recipe but if you only have dried herbs, you can try to substitute them if you wish. Use about 1 tablespoon of dried parsley and 1 tablespoon of dried dill, but the flavor won’t be as bright.
Yes, this is a great make-ahead. This dip will last in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
