Ingredients
  

Dip Base
  • 2 cups dandelion greens washed and chopped
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 2 cup Greek yogurt plain
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for blending
Seasonings
  • 1 2 teaspoon sea salt adjust to taste
  • 1 4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Food Processor
  • Spatula
  • Knife
  • Freezer
  • Serving Tray

Method
 

  1. Blanch dandelion greens briefly in hot water until slightly softened but still bright green.
  2. Drain greens thoroughly and cool completely before blending for the smoothest creamy texture.
  3. Add cream cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic, olive oil, and greens into a food processor.
  4. Blend mixture until creamy with small visible green flecks remaining for texture and color.
  5. Season with sea salt, black pepper, and lemon juice before chilling and serving immediately.

Notes

Blend longer for silky dip consistency or pulse lightly for chunkier texture. Freeze portions in sealed containers for quick snacks later. Stir carefully after thawing to restore creaminess. Customize flavor with shredded cheddar, spicy flakes, or fresh herbs. Store refrigerated up to four days for best freshness and texture.
