Pork Free Smoky Paprika Avocado Green Goddess Dip
This vibrant, herb-packed dip is the kind of thing that disappears from the table before anyone even asks what's in it. Ripe avocados form the creamy base, blended smooth with fresh basil, parsley, and chives for that signature green goddess color and garden-fresh flavor. Tahini adds a subtle nuttiness and body, while smoked paprika and a touch of cumin give the whole thing a warm, slightly smoky depth that sets it apart from a basic guacamole. A generous hit of lemon juice keeps it bright and balanced, and the texture lands exactly where you want it — thick enough to scoop but silky enough to feel luxurious. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from pork and pork-derived products, so there's no label-scanning required, just blending and tasting. Finish it with a dusting of smoked paprika and a drizzle of good olive oil, and it looks as impressive as it tastes. Serve it with chips, crudités, or honestly just a spoon — no judgment.

- 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.
