Gelatin Free Smoky Paprika Avocado Green Goddess Dip
Creamy, herbaceous, and just smoky enough to keep everyone coming back for another scoop, this vibrant green dip is built entirely from whole, plant-based ingredients — no stabilizers, no thickeners, and absolutely nothing derived from animal collagen. Two ripe avocados form the lush, buttery base, while fresh basil, parsley, and chives bring that signature green goddess brightness. Tahini adds a subtle nuttiness and helps the dip hold its silky, scoopable texture without any gelatin-based setting agents. Smoked paprika and a touch of cumin give it a warm, earthy depth that sets it apart from your average guacamole or herb dip. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice keeps the color vivid and the flavor lively, and you can dial the consistency up or down with a splash of water until it's exactly where you want it. Finish with a dusting of smoked paprika and a drizzle of olive oil, and it looks as stunning as it tastes. Pile it next to crudités, pita, or chips and watch it disappear.

- 2
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.
