Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 100 grams plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crumble the feta cheese into smaller chunks and add it to a food processor or high-powered blender.
Add the nonfat Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and honey to the processor.
Peel and roughly chop the garlic clove, then add it to the mixture.
Blend the mixture on high until the feta becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take 2-3 minutes.
Season the whipped feta with black pepper and blend briefly to combine. Taste and adjust with more lemon juice or honey if desired.
Transfer the whipped feta to a serving bowl and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil for extra creaminess. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley if using.
Serve immediately with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers. You can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
