Mediterranean Feta Dip
Description
This recipe features feta cheese typically purchased in block form and crumbled freshly for a creamier texture. The chopped tomato, cucumber, and green onion provide freshness and crunch. The dressing is a simple vinaigrette made from olive oil, lemon juice, and dried herbs including basil, garlic powder, dill, oregano, salt, and pepper, which is whisked together and poured over the feta and vegetables. Mixing these ingredients yields a flavorful, creamy dip with distinct herbaceous notes and tang from lemon. It can be served with dippers or as a salad topping, adding Mediterranean flavors to snacks and appetizers.
The recipe suggests using high-quality olive or avocado oil for best taste. The dip is straightforward to prepare and emphasizes fresh produce combined with crumbly feta.
