Servings: 10
- 1 (8-ounce) block quality feta, drained
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ teaspoon Greek seasoning
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- ¾ teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- red pepper flakes, optional
Add feta cheese, greek yogurt, greek seasoning, chopped garlic and lemon zest to a food processor and process until smooth. Fold in fresh dill. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Spoon dip into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle on red pepper flakes and fresh dill.
Recipe Tips.
- Use a block of feta, not crumbles; block feta blends smoother and tastes fresher.
- Drain the feta well so the dip stays thick and fluffy.
- Scrape down the food processor bowl a couple of times so everything blends evenly.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes; it thickens slightly, and the flavor gets even better.
Make ahead of time. Make-ahead tip, store covered in the fridge and drizzle with olive oil right before serving.
Store. Keep the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Stir before serving, then drizzle with olive oil and add fresh dill or red pepper flakes.
Freeze. Not recommended, dairy-based dips can separate and turn grainy after thawing.
