Ingredients
- 200 grams Feta cheese
- 120 grams Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint, chopped

Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese into small pieces.
Add the plain Greek yogurt to the bowl and mash the feta and yogurt together with the back of a fork or a spatula until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. (Alternatively, you can use a food processor for an ultra-smooth texture.)
Drizzle in the olive oil and mix well to incorporate it fully into the feta-yogurt blend.
Stir in the minced garlic, fresh dill, fresh mint, lemon juice, and honey. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
If desired, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes and any extra fresh dill or mint leaves on top for garnish.
Serve immediately with your choice of crackers, pita bread, or fresh vegetables. If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
