Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic into a food processor.
  2. Process the ingredients until the mixture becomes completely smooth and airy, scraping down the sides as needed. This usually takes 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Taste the dip and add salt and pepper as needed. If the dip seems too thick, add another teaspoon of olive oil or yogurt until you reach your desired creamy texture.
  4. Transfer the whipped feta dip to a shallow serving bowl.
  5. Drizzle the top lightly with extra olive oil.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite accompaniments like pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • For a sweet and savory twist, drizzle the finished dip with honey or hot honey before serving.
  • To add texture and color, top with chopped pistachios and dried cranberries.
  • If you prefer a deeper flavor, use roasted garlic instead of raw minced garlic.
  • You can prepare this easy appetizer dip up to one day ahead; store it covered in the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
