Zucchini Dip with Mint {Vegan, Gluten-Free, Keto}
This light refreshing and creamy Zucchini Dip with Mint is completed with coconut yoghurt and mint. It is perfect for a quick and healthy snack and the excuse to use up your zucchini / courgette bounty. It is suitable for people following a vegan, gluten-free or keto diet. Post includes Weight Watchers points.
Like all recipes this yoghurt, mint and Zucchini Dip came about from a simple thought process. I have waaaaaay too many lovely zucchinis (courgettes) – tick. I have tons of mint – tick. As for coconut yoghurt……….. you kinda get the gist.
This great thing about this Courgette Dip is that it requires on 5 main ingredients (Zucchini, mint, lemon, olive oil and coconut yoghurt). The others are completely optional but add that little extra something to the dip that take it from good to WOAH.
Vegan Dip
This is a light and refreshing dip that will help use up your zucchini bounty. I have kept it vegan by using coconut yoghurt. But feel free to use other yoghurts like soya yoghurt too.

Courgette Dip Tips
- To make it a bit thinner add in more yoghurt and olive oil and to make it sharper add in more lemon.

I am loving this healthy dish of veggies. I love dips like this too. The best snacks for me are ones like this .. you really make everything I like.
What brilliant flavours. I know I would love this dip. Pass the carrot sticks. Shared !
I love that this dip is only 1 pt with WW Freestyle! I can enjoy it guilt-free, with some 0 point veggies! Love it!
This is such an awesome idea! I love a new dip idea, and the mint sounds so fresh tasting.
What a GREAT idea for a dip and with courgettes too, how clever for a way to use up a glut! Thanks for entering this into Cooking with Herbs, Karen
Thanks Karen. Love browsing the recipes at cooking with herbs.
What a delicious dip – this reminds me of tzatziki sauce with the mint and yogurt and lemon. I love the use of the zucchini and I’m sure I would enjoy this with vegetables or pita or even chips!
Thanks Javelin Warrior.
Definitely my kind of recipe. It really does sound good and healthy!!!!
Yummy and healthy it definitely is.
I have to give it a go! I love dips of all sorts, but never had a chance to try courgette and mint combination 🙂

Thanks for checking me out Deanna.
Oh what a fab idea! Wish I’d had this recipe the last two summers when I grew an inordinate amount of courgettes and was always in a bit of a frenzy to get them all eaten!. And as my kids are both weirdly adverse to all things cucumber but like courgette this could be the perfect tzatziki type dip for them!. Shall be trying soon :), Louisa
He Louisa, Let me know how they like it.
