Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Feta cheese
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 whole Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 5 whole Cherry tomatoes (optional, for garnish)
- 8 whole Kalamata olives (optional, for garnish)
- 1 bowl Pita bread or vegetables (for serving)
Instructions
Crumble the feta cheese into smaller pieces and place it in a food processor or blender.
Add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and honey to the food processor.
Peel the garlic clove and either finely mince it or add it directly to the food processor.
Blend the mixture on medium speed until smooth and creamy. If the dip seems too thick, add a teaspoon of water (or more Greek yogurt) at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Once the dip is smooth, fold in the fresh dill, parsley, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Give it a final pulse in the food processor to combine evenly.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and drizzle a small amount of olive oil on top for a finishing touch.
If desired, garnish the dip with halved cherry tomatoes and whole Kalamata olives for added texture and flavor.
Serve the dip immediately with warm pita bread, pita chips, or fresh vegetables like cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or carrot sticks.
