Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces feta cheese
- 7 ounces Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for topping)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sumac
Toppings
- 3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Crumble the feta cheese into a food processor, then add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, sea salt, and sumac. This ensures all flavors are combined evenly.
- Blend the dip: Process the mixture for about 2 minutes until it’s fully mixed and smooth, creating a creamy and spreadable dip.
- Serve with toppings: Transfer the whipped feta mixture into a serving bowl. Top with toasted pine nuts, chopped parsley, and, if desired, drizzle an additional tablespoon of olive oil to enhance richness and flavor.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture.
- Sumac adds a lemony flavor; if unavailable, a small squeeze of lemon juice can be substituted.
- To toast pine nuts, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat and stir until golden and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers for dipping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
