17 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice

# How-To Steps:

01 - Wash all vegetables under cold running water and pat dry. Slice and arrange baby carrots, snap peas, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, bell pepper, and radishes on a large serving platter in an attractive pattern.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, chives, tarragon, basil, minced garlic, anchovy fillets if desired, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
03 - Transfer the Green Goddess dip into a small serving bowl and position it in the center of the vegetable platter.
04 - Serve the platter immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

# Tips for Success:

01 -
  • The dip tastes like restaurant-quality but comes together in the time it takes to chop vegetables.
  • Every vegetable stays crisp and colorful for hours, so it works for parties without stress.
  • Kids genuinely ask for seconds when the dip is this good and herbs this fresh.
02 -
  • Chop the herbs immediately before making the dip—they lose their brightness and color if they sit around.
  • If your dip seems too thick, a tablespoon of milk or water will loosen it without diluting the flavor.
03 -
  • Use a microplane or the finest setting on your box grater to get the garlic almost powder-fine so it distributes evenly without harsh bites.
  • Taste the dip multiple times as you make it and adjust the lemon juice and salt until it tastes bright and intentional, not timid.
