Ingredients
- 8 ounces feta cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for balance)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 0 pita chips or assorted veggies (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Place the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, garlic clove, lemon juice, and black pepper into a food processor or blender.
Step 2
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Step 3
If you’d like to add heat, blend in 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. For a milder version, skip this step.
Step 4
Taste the dip and adjust the saltiness if necessary. Feta is usually salty enough, so additional salt may not be required.
Step 5
If a touch of sweetness is desired to balance the flavors, drizzle in 1 teaspoon of honey and blend again.
Step 6
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.
Step 7
Serve with pita chips, sliced cucumbers, carrots, or any veggies of your choice. Enjoy!
