Dip Ingredients

  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill), finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients on your kitchen counter for easy access to streamline the cooking process.
  2. Chop Herbs: Finely chop the fresh herbs such as parsley or dill and set them aside for mixing.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mix together the crumbled feta cheese, chopped herbs, minced garlic, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil until well combined.
  4. Blend for Texture: To achieve a smoother, creamier texture, blend the mixture in a food processor until smooth, adding additional olive oil if needed to reach desired consistency.
  5. Season to Taste: Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning by adding salt or more lemon juice as preferred to balance flavors.
  6. Chill and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor; parsley and dill work exceptionally well.
  • Adjust olive oil quantity to get a thicker or thinner consistency per your liking.
  • Refrigerating the dip enhances the melding of flavors but can be served immediately if pressed for time.
  • Serve alongside pita bread, fresh veggies, or crackers for a delightful appetizer.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
