Ingredients

• 8 ounces Low-Sodium Feta Cheese
• 0.25 cup Greek Yogurt (unsweetened, plain)
• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 clove Garlic (minced or finely grated)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Dill (optional, finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Basil (optional, finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Water (if needed, to adjust consistency)

Directions

Step 1

1. Crumble the low-sodium feta cheese into small pieces and add it to a food processor or high-powered blender.

Step 2

2. Add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the food processor.

Step 3

3. Blend the mixture on high speed for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the processor as needed, until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

4. Add freshly ground black pepper and, if desired, the finely chopped dill and basil for extra freshness. Blend for an additional 10-15 seconds to combine.

Step 5

5. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition, until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 6

6. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference. Avoid adding salt, as the feta provides natural salty notes even in its low-sodium form.

Step 7

7. Transfer the whipped feta to a serving bowl and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil. If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Step 8

8. Serve immediately with fresh vegetable sticks, pita chips, or use as a spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
