The Best Homemade Vegan Herb Dip
Most dips you can buy at the supermarket or grocery store are usually not vegan or very expensive or contain undesirable additives. That’s why I prefer to make my own homemade version using fresh ingredients! This recipe is super quick and easy to make without much effort and you know exactly what’s in it!
A freshly made herb dip is not only more delicious than the store-bought stuff, but you can also avoid packaging waste by making it yourself. It doesn’t get any better than that, does it?
The herb dip with parsley is prepared similarly to hummus, guacamole or vegan tzatziki and can be served in many ways. It’s delicious with raw veggies or oven-roasted vegetables and hasselback potatoes. However, you can also use it as a spread for homemade bread or bread rolls. Aside from that, it makes also a perfect dip for many side dishes and snacks like vegan broccoli cheese nuggets, crispy baked cauliflower or spinach potato cakes.
Feel free to turn this recipe into a delicious creamy dressing or refreshing herb sauce by adding some olive oil, canola oil or avocado oil or even omega-3 rich chia, hemp or flax oil. I’m sure this green goddess dipping sauce will make my beloved chickpea salad or Greek orzo salad taste even better! Not forget to mention that this nutrient-rich herb dressing will make a tasty sauce for a colorful Buddha Bowl with quinoa too!

Step 1: Blend all ingredients until creamy

How to store homemade veggie dip?
You can store the parley dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 5 days. It’s best to store it in a sealed jar or container with a lid or something similar. It may become more solid when chilled. However, you can give it a quick stir before serving and add in some unsweetened plant milk if needed. If you want the dip to be richer or if you want to use it as a creamy dressing or herb sauce, you can also stir in some dairy-free cooking cream or oil.
