Low Sugar Smoky Paprika Avocado Green Goddess Dip
Creamy, herby, and just a little smoky, this blended dip is the kind of thing that disappears fast at any table. Two ripe avocados form the silky base, while fresh basil, parsley, and chives bring that signature green goddess brightness — all balanced by tahini, lemon juice, and a hit of smoked paprika that gives it real depth. Every ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, so there's no hidden sweetener sneaking in the way there often is with store-bought dips and dressings. The smoked paprika and cumin do the heavy lifting on flavor, meaning you genuinely don't miss anything. Blending everything together until completely smooth takes barely two minutes, and a little water added gradually gets the texture exactly right — thick enough to hold on a chip, light enough to feel fresh. Finish it with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch more paprika and it looks as good as it tastes. Serve it with crudités, pita, or anything that needs a seriously good dip alongside it.

Blend on high, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed, until the dip is completely smooth and uniformly green, about 60–90 seconds. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time and blend again until the dip is thick but scoopable — it should hold its shape on a chip or crudité without running.
