This is a quick, easy and versatile dip that features goat cheese, fresh herbs and a little kick of dijon mustard. Just throw it into the food processor and enjoy!

I finally discovered the secret to delicious, healthy, and easy-to-throw together lunches… a secret sauce. Maybe you’re quicker than I and realized this long ago, but it’s so true- a flavor-packed sauce can turn simple, pre-prepped ingredients (brown rice, roasted vegetables, tempeh, grilled chicken) into a lunch I’m actually excited to eat! There are a few favorites that I keep in heavy rotation: Magic Green Sauce, Great Day Dressing, MMM Sauce, and now, this beauty. Because let’s be honest, anything with goat cheese is going to be delicious!

I first came up with this herbed goat cheese dip a few years ago, when I used it as a sauce for a chicken pasta dish (and it’s still a great way to re-purpose it — click here for that recipe!).

But it’s one of those things that even when you’re making it, you start sneaking tastes…a spoonful here, a carrot dipped in there…and I realized that with a few tweaks, it would make for a perfect dip or spread for snacks throughout the week.

I love using the fresh herbs, because it gives it such a strong, herbacious smell and taste. And the goat cheese has just the right amount of tang, without being too overpowering, to carry those flavors.

It keeps in the fridge really well for at least a few days, and if you’re like me — you won’t need much longer than that, anyway, because you’ll be eating it every day.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! (And keep scrolling for some pictures of what you can expect it to look like in the food processor. You can blend it to whatever texture you want, but I like to see the herbs in the finished product, so I pulse instead of letting the processor go for too long.)
