Rice Free Smoky Paprika Avocado Green Goddess Dip
This vibrant, herb-packed dip is everything you want in a crowd-pleaser — creamy, smoky, and loaded with fresh green flavor from basil, parsley, and chives. Ripe avocado forms the lush, velvety base, while tahini adds a subtle nuttiness and smoked paprika gives the whole thing a warm, slightly mysterious depth. A hit of fresh lemon juice keeps it bright and balanced, so it never feels heavy despite how rich and satisfying it is. The whole thing comes together in a blender in under two minutes, making it one of the easiest impressive dips you'll ever put on a table. Every single ingredient here is naturally grain-free, so there's no need to audit labels or swap anything out — it just works as written. Serve it with crudités, sturdy crackers, or anything else you like to scoop with, and finish it with that optional drizzle of olive oil and pinch of paprika for a presentation that looks genuinely restaurant-worthy.

Combine the avocado, basil, parsley, chives, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt in a blender or food processor.
- 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.
