Healthy Green Goddess Dip Recipe

This creamy, tangy appetizer will please any crowd and perhaps inspire praise worthy of a goddess. The dip is simple to make, yet elegant once surrounded by a crown of freshly cut crudités. We replaced the usual sour cream and mayonnaise with Greek yogurt and avocados. Your taste buds won’t notice a difference, but your waistline will! Serve your green goddess dip with farm-fresh vegetables and make all the other pre-meal snacks go green with envy.
