Equipment
- 1 food processor or blender
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) block feta cheese full fat
- ¾ cups Greek yogurt (whole milk)
- 3 tablespoon hot honey more for topping
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- ⅙ teaspoon black pepper
Optional for topping
- 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, removed from stem
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Rinse the block of feta under running water to get rid of some of the salty brine it's packed in. Add the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, hot honey, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and black pepper to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, 3-4 minutes pushing down the sides as needed.
- Refrigerate the dip for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. It will thicken as it sits. Add the dip to your favorite serving bowl. I suggest using a shallow bowl for easy dipping. Add your favorite toppings. I use toasted pine nuts, fresh thyme, lemon zest, and an extra drizzle of hot honey.
