Main Ingredients
- 200g good-quality crumbly feta cheese
- 100g Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh mixed herbs (parsley, chives, tarragon, basil), roughly chopped
- 1–2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Gather and Prep Ingredients: Measure out feta, Greek yogurt, fresh herbs, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roughly chop the herbs for easier blending and peel the garlic cloves.
- Blend the Base: In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the feta, Greek yogurt, herbs, garlic, and lemon juice. Pulse until the mixture starts to come together but still retains some texture.
- Add Olive Oil and Seasoning: With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the dip reaches a smooth and airy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste, pulsing briefly to combine.
- Adjust and Chill: Taste and adjust the seasonings or add more lemon juice if desired. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature feta and yogurt for smoother blending without lumps.
- Opt for fresh herbs rather than dried to ensure the brightest flavor.
- Do not overblend; keep a slightly textured, whipped consistency for interest.
- Add lemon juice gradually, tasting as you go to balance acidity.
- Serve the dip cold; chilling enhances flavor development and maintains the whipped texture.
