Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 whole garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the garlic clove and finely mince or smash it into a paste using the back of a knife.
In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Blend or mix until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of water and blend again.
Add the dried oregano, red chili flakes, honey, and black pepper to the mixture. Blend or stir gently to incorporate the seasonings evenly.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spoon.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the surface of the dip for an added shine and flavor boost.
Sprinkle optional garnishes, such as fresh parsley or additional chili flakes, on top for a pop of color.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh veggie sticks, or crackers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
