  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: About 1 cup (serves 6-8) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or cream cheese
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for adjusting texture and garnish
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Fresh Herbs

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Gather and measure your fresh herbs, crumble the feta cheese, and squeeze fresh lemon juice to ensure everything is ready before you blend.
  2. Blend the base: In a food processor or blender, combine the crumbled feta, Greek yogurt or cream cheese, garlic, lemon juice, and a splash of olive oil. Pulse until you reach a fluffy, smooth consistency.
  3. Add herbs and season: Throw in the fresh herbs along with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pulse a few more times until the herbs are finely incorporated but the dip still has some texture.
  4. Adjust texture and flavor: If the dip is too thick, drizzle in a bit more olive oil or lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed to achieve that perfect balance of creaminess and brightness.
  5. Chill before serving: Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and the texture firm up slightly—this also makes it taste even better.

Notes

  • Use quality feta: A good-quality Greek feta enhances flavor and smoothness.
  • Don’t skip chilling: Refrigerate the dip to intensify herb flavors and thicken texture.
  • Pulse, don’t over-blend: Maintain some texture by pulsing instead of continuous blending.
  • Fresh lemon juice is key: Use freshly squeezed juice for brightness, not bottled.
  • Serve at room temperature: Remove from fridge 10 minutes before serving for best taste and texture.
