Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz feta cheese block in brine
  • ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • 1 tsp honey, plus more for serving
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Method
 

  1. Crumble the feta into a food processor with yogurt, 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Process until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides.
  2. Add honey, dill, salt, and pepper. Pulse a few times to combine; taste and adjust.
  3. Transfer to a serving bowl, swirl the top with a spoon, and drizzle with olive oil and honey. Sprinkle with extra dill and red pepper flakes. Serve with pita bread or vegetables.

Notes

The dip can be made up to a day ahead and chilled. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving to soften. If it thickens in the fridge, stir in a teaspoon of water or milk to loosen it.
