CREAMY FETA DIP #APPERTIZER #MEDITERRANEAN
This Creamy Feta Dip is a straightforward group satisfying Mediterranean enlivened canapé and sound bite that is extremely simple to get ready for gatherings and potlucks!
Admission: I'm not so much into the Super Bowl. In any case, I'm absolutely into the sustenance that accompanies the Super Bowl, and I like the plugs too haha. While the game (in the middle of ads) is on is normally when I take my washroom breaks or gab about the plans I made that day. For Super Bowl this year, I'm tossing in a lighter sort of plunge to the blend – this Mediterranean enlivened velvety feta plunge!
To make the plunge, simply toss everything in a huge bowl and utilize a fork or spoon to combine everything. The surface will be grainy and somewhat thick since we're not utilizing any cream cheddar or mayonnaise, and furthermore since we're not mixing it in a nourishment processor. In any case, that is actually what you're searching for.
So once you separate all the feta and mix everything great, move it to a littler serving bowl and chill until you're prepared to serve the feta plunge.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces of Feta cheese broken into chunks
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 garlic clove minced
1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon mint leaves finely chopped, plus more for serving
Diced cucumber for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place the feta cheese, Greek Yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, black pepper and mint in a large bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended without any chunks of feta leftover.
- Transfer the dip to a small bowl, cover and store in the fridge for up to one week.
- When ready to serve, drizzle with olive oil, fresh mint leaves and diced cucumber. Serve with toasted pita bread, if desired.
NOTES
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. The dip will last in the fridge for up to one week.
- Make Ahead Tips: You can make the dip up to 3 days ahead of time and store it in the fridge in an airtight container. Note that it will stiffen in the fridge, but will loosen once left at room temperature for half an hour.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However if you prefer to skip the garlic and mint, you can do so. They really help flavor the recipe though so I would strongly recommend using them, and especially recommend using them fresh instead of in powdered/dried herb form.
- Equipment: You can whip up this feta dip simply by using a fork or spoon. If you want it to be extra creamy and whipped, you can try using a small food processor. I tried mine in the Cuisinart Smart Stick, which is like a mini food processor and perfect for quickly blending small dips like this.
