Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 200g good-quality brined feta cheese, crumbled
- 100g Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh herbs (parsley, tarragon, and chives), washed and dried
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Gather fresh herbs and rinse under cold water, then pat dry completely to avoid watery dip. Crumble feta cheese into small pieces for easy blending.
- Combine in a Food Processor: Add crumbled feta, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, fresh herbs, lemon juice, and olive oil to a food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse several times to start mixing.
- Whip to Smoothness: Blend until the mixture becomes creamy and fluffy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even texture. Aim for a silky but slightly textured consistency.
- Season to Taste: Add salt and black pepper carefully, tasting as you go since feta is naturally salty. Adjust lemon juice or olive oil if needed to achieve perfect balance.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and to slightly firm up the texture for an irresistible finish.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother blending and velvety texture.
- Fresh herbs are essential for brightness and depth in flavor.
- If the dip is too thick, add a splash of water or extra olive oil to reach desired consistency.
- If your food processor is small, blend ingredients in batches and then combine.
- This dip tastes even better when made ahead and rested overnight.
