Green Garden Patch Dip
This Green Garden Patch Dip is such a fun way to enjoy spring produce. It starts with a creamy, herby Green Goddess Hummus that’s packed with leafy greens, spring herbs, and a squeeze of lemon, and then gets topped with colorful crunchy veggies arranged like a little spring garden in a dish.
It’s perfect for parties or just as a fun afternoon snack. You can get creative with the veggies you use and turn it into a full centerpiece—it’s as pretty as it is delicious!
