Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz. feta cheese (block, not crumbled)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 (8-oz.) block cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil (plus extra for drizzling)
- Juice & zest of 1 lemon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped, plus extra for garnish)
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ cup chopped cucumber
- ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
- Whole grain pita chips (for serving)
Instructions
- Blend the Base: In a food processor, combine feta cheese, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, and zest. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Season the Dip: Add salt, dill, and crushed red pepper flakes. Blend again until well incorporated. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Assemble the Dip: Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, fresh dill, and drizzle with extra olive oil.
- Serve & Enjoy: Pair with pita chips, fresh veggies, or warm pita bread.
Notes
- Use block feta for the best texture—pre-crumbled feta won’t blend as smoothly.
- Let the dip sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to enhance flavors.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
