Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (preferably from a block, not pre-crumbled)
  • ¾ cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove

Garnish & Serving

  • Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes, for garnish
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Pita bread, baguette, or fresh veggies, for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, place the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and garlic clove.
  2. Whip the Dip: Pulse the mixture in the food processor until it becomes smooth, creamy, and well combined. This ensures the dip has a fluffy texture and melded flavors.
  3. Serve and Garnish: Transfer the whipped feta mixture to a serving dish. Drizzle with additional olive oil, sprinkle pinches of Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes for a subtle heat, and top with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of freshness.
  4. Accompaniments: Serve immediately with pita bread, sliced baguette, or an assortment of fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • For best results, use feta cheese from a block rather than pre-crumbled to achieve a smoother dip.
  • Adjust the garlic amount based on your preference for pungency.
  • Aleppo pepper can be substituted with red pepper flakes if unavailable.
  • This dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; stir well before serving.
  • Try serving with various crisp vegetables like cucumber, carrots, or bell peppers for added texture.
