Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Low-Sodium Feta Cheese
- 0.25 cup Greek Yogurt (unsweetened, plain)
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 clove Garlic (minced or finely grated)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Dill (optional, finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Basil (optional, finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Water (if needed, to adjust consistency)
Instructions
1. Crumble the low-sodium feta cheese into small pieces and add it to a food processor or high-powered blender.
2. Add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the food processor.
3. Blend the mixture on high speed for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the processor as needed, until smooth and creamy.
4. Add freshly ground black pepper and, if desired, the finely chopped dill and basil for extra freshness. Blend for an additional 10-15 seconds to combine.
5. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition, until the desired consistency is achieved.
6. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference. Avoid adding salt, as the feta provides natural salty notes even in its low-sodium form.
7. Transfer the whipped feta to a serving bowl and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil. If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
8. Serve immediately with fresh vegetable sticks, pita chips, or use as a spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
