Ingredients

  • 8 ounces feta cheese broken into chunks, rinsed well if in brine
  • ¾ cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt or any of the varations
  • Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 teaspoon), plus more for serving
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for serving
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Toss the 8 ounces feta cheese, ¾ cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt, zest of 1 lemon, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt into a food processor.
  2. Flip the switch and drizzle in the 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil through the feed tube.
  3. Continue whizzing the mixture until the dip is kinda smooth, about 1 minute. Turn off the food processor, scrape down the sides, and blend until lusciously creamy, about 30 seconds more.
  4. Scrape the dip into a serving bowl and top with a drizzle of oil, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, and ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Keep chilled until you're ready to serve.

Notes

  • Choosing the right serving bowl--Use a wide bowl for plating your dip so that the toppings aren't too concentrated in one place.
  • Storage--Keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving.
  • Dietary--This recipe is suitable for gluten-free diets.
