This healthy spinach and herb yogurt dip is creamy, oniony and super duper green, which makes it perfect for a St. Patrick’s Day gathering and springtime too.
Not counting the sea salt and black pepper, this delicious dip only has seven ingredients, all of which get blended together in one container. Yes, it’s that easy to make and you can literally be dipping your heart out in no time.
Spinach, Italian parsley, dill and avocado give this delicious dip its vivacious green color. And, both avocado and thick, whole milk Greek yogurt provide incredible creaminess. In addition to the fresh herbs, sweet onion and lemon juice offer more fresh and savory flavor.
I prefer eating this green dip with sliced veggies, but there’s obviously lots of options (sweet potato chips, plantain chips, grain-free crackers, etc). It can even be used as a dressing for eggs, roasted veggies, salad or a bowl of some sort.
