About this recipe
Kale, coriander pesto and yoghurt dip Thermomix TM7 recipes are the answer when you want a fresh, green snack that comes together in one bowl with hardly any washing up. This all-in-one kitchen machine chops the kale and coriander evenly in seconds, grinds the pumpkin seeds to a fine crumb and then folds everything into Greek yoghurt for a silky, scoopable dip. The result is tangy, herby and gently garlicky, with nutritional yeast adding a savoury, almost cheesy note that keeps the recipe vegetarian and gluten-free. It works brilliantly as a quick weeknight starter with crudités, as a spread on flatbread for lunch, or as part of a party buffet where guests can help themselves. Because the TM7 handles every step, you skip the knife board, the food processor and the messy transfer between bowls. If you have a bunch of kale that needs using up, this dip is one of the tastiest ways to turn it into something everyone will reach for.
Preparation tips
- Wash the kale thoroughly and remove the tough central stems before adding it to the mixing bowl, as the stems stay fibrous and can make the dip stringy rather than silky.
- Toast the pumpkin seeds briefly in a dry frying pan before grinding them in the TM7; this deepens their nutty flavour and gives the finished dip a noticeably richer, rounder taste.
- Serve the dip chilled with crudités, oat crackers or warm flatbread, and stir it briefly before serving, as the Greek yoghurt and olive oil can separate slightly when kept in the fridge overnight.
Recipe variations
- For a fully vegan version, replace the Greek yoghurt with a thick plant-based coconut or soy yoghurt and add an extra teaspoon of nutritional yeast to keep that savoury, cheesy depth in the dip.
- For a festive variation, swap the coriander for fresh basil and parsley, add a squeeze of lemon juice and top the finished dip with extra toasted pumpkin seeds and a drizzle of olive oil for a colourful party centrepiece.
Thermomix TM7 Benefits

- Mixing the garlic, nutritional yeast and yoghurt together yields a velvety, lump-free dip far faster than stirring by hand could ever achieve. [Time Savings]
