Fresh herbs give this classic dip, adapted from America's Test Kitchen, its clean, fresh flavor and distinctive color; do not substitute dried herbs. For an accurate measurement of boiling water, bring a full kettle of water to a boil, then measure out the desired amount. Season with additional lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Greek Goddess Dip image

This Greek goddess dip is stunningly verdant and has a bright herby flavor. The Greek strain in this dressing comes from using dill in place of watercress. Make it and watch it do a disappearing act on vegetables, pita chips or whatever conduit you can dream up.

CRUDITéS WITH GRILLED GREEN GODDESS DIP



Crudités With Grilled Green Goddess Dip image

When you're grilling, you might expect grilled vegetables with a straightforward dip, but here I've paired just-cooked vegetables with a grilled dip.

Provided by Eric Werner

Categories     Dip     Vegetarian     Vegetable     Grill/Barbecue     Grill     Avocado     Tomatillo     Jalapeño     Chile Pepper     Lime     Basil

Yield Serves 6 to 8; makes about 2 cups of dip

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ripe avocados
Oil, for coating
5 large tomatillos, peeled and rinsed
2 jalapeño chiles, stemmed, halved lengthwise, and seeded
2 tablespoons roasted garlic (see Note)
Juice of 2 limes (about 1⁄4 cup)
1 cup basil leaves
1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
An assortment of lightly charred vegetables, such as asparagus, jicama, fennel, snap peas, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, and endive, for serving

Steps:

  • Wipe the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Build a medium-heat fire. Your medium-heat zone should have embers 3 to 5 inches from the cooking surface.
  • To make the dip: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Cut again so the avocados are quartered. Keeping the skin on, coat the flesh sides with oil and grill each flesh side over medium heat for about 60 seconds, or until there are nice grill marks. Set aside.
  • Coat the tomatillos and jalapeños with oil and grill over medium heat on all sides until charred but not blackened, about 5 minutes total.
  • Remove and discard the skins from the avocados. Add the avocados, tomatillos, jalapeños, garlic, lime juice, basil, and salt to a blender and puree until very smooth. The dip can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored, covered, in the refrigerator.
  • Cut the larger vegetables, such as fennel and jicama, into pieces that are slightly larger than bite size and keep the smaller vegetables, such as asparagus, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, and endive, whole. Arrange the vegetables on a platter and serve with the dip.
