Creamy, tangy Mediterranean spread blending feta, yogurt, and garlic for a perfect appetizer.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 7 oz feta cheese, crumbled

02 - 3.5 oz Greek yogurt (full-fat)

03 - 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened

04 - 1 garlic clove, minced

05 - 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

06 - 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

07 - 1/2 tsp dried oregano

08 - 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

09 - 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill or parsley

10 - 1 tbsp crumbled feta

11 - 1 tsp chili flakes or Aleppo pepper

01 - Place feta cheese, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and black pepper into a food processor.

02 - Process until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed for even blending.

03 - Taste the mixture and modify lemon juice or pepper levels according to personal preference.

04 - Spoon the blended dip into an attractive serving bowl, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon.

05 - Drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle reserved crumbled feta, fresh herbs, and chili flakes across the top.

06 - Present the dip accompanied by warm pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable crudités for dipping.

01 -

It comes together in literally ten minutes but tastes like something youve been laboring over for an hour
The combination of tangy feta and creamy Greek yogurt creates this impossible texture that people cannot stop eating

02 -

The dip needs to sit for at least ten minutes after blending to let the flavors meld and the garlic mellow out
Do not skip the scraping step when blending, or you will end up with tiny feta chunks instead of silkiness

03 -

Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly, so take everything out of the fridge about twenty minutes before starting
If the dip seems too thick, add a tablespoon of water or olive oil until it reaches your desired consistency
