- 3 tablespoons Pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and aromatic. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.
In a food processor, combine feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.
Chop the parsley and dill finely. Reserve a teaspoon of each for garnish.
Stir the parsley, dill, salt, and black pepper into the blended dip mixture. Pulse briefly in the food processor to incorporate or mix by hand for a chunkier texture.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts, the reserved parsley, and dill for garnish.
Drizzle an extra swirl of olive oil on top for a finishing touch if desired.
Serve fresh with pita bread, crackers, or veggie sticks. Enjoy!
