Main Ingredients
- 150g good-quality feta cheese, crumbled
- 50g Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more if needed
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Gather the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper. Crumble the feta to ensure easier blending and finely mince the garlic to distribute its flavor evenly throughout the dip.
- Blend the Dip: In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the crumbled feta, Greek yogurt, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Blend until smooth and fluffy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more olive oil to achieve a creamy consistency.
- Season to Taste: Taste the dip and add freshly ground black pepper. Adjust the honey or lemon juice as needed to balance the sweet and tangy flavors perfectly.
- Serve and Drizzle: Transfer the whipped feta to a serving bowl. Drizzle extra honey over the top, and optionally garnish with fresh herbs or nuts before serving.
Notes
- Let feta and yogurt reach room temperature before blending to create a creamier texture.
- Use a food processor for the best smooth and whipped consistency.
- Adjust the sweetness gradually by starting with less honey and adding more as desired.
- Always use fresh lemon juice for a bright and vibrant flavor.
- Choose a good quality extra virgin olive oil to enhance flavor and mouthfeel.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, stirring before serving.
- You can freeze the dip for up to 2 months in a freezer-safe container; thaw overnight in the fridge and stir well before use.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature; if preferred warmer, let sit out for 15-20 minutes to soften.
