Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Feta cheese
- 100 grams Pitted Kalamata olives
- 75 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic clove (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Place the feta cheese in a mixing bowl and crumble it into small pieces using a fork or your fingers.
Add the pitted Kalamata olives to the bowl. If you want a smoother spread, finely chop the olives beforehand.
Stir in the Greek yogurt to add creaminess to the spread.
Pour in the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice, then mix everything together until the ingredients are well combined.
Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, and ground black pepper. Stir until all the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the spread.
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning if necessary (note that feta and olives are naturally salty, so additional salt is usually not required).
For a smoother consistency, you can process the mixture in a food processor for a few seconds, but chunky textures work well too.
Chill the spread in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve a generous dollop of the spread on burgers, steaks, or grilled fish. It also pairs well with pita bread or fresh veggies as an appetizer.
