Ingredients
- 1 block 8 ounces feta cheese
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- ½ lemon juiced
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon grated garlic
- 3 tablespoons harissa paste
Instructions
- Break the feta into small cubes and place it in the food processor with the greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Process on high speed until the feta is smooth and creamy– about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Next add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and grated garlic. Pulse to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, stir together the harissa paste and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- There are two great ways to serve this dip– either add the harrisa to the feta dip and pulse to combine or transfer the feta dip to a serving bowl and drizzle with the harissa oil. Up to you!
- Enjoy immediately and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
