Feta Yogurt Dip
The perfect companion to a leg of lamb, but also makes a great dip for carrots or pita.
Servings: 6 People
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably whole milk)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
- 2 garlic cloves (very finely minced)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- ½ cup crumbled feta
- Dill sprigs (for serving; optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, dill, and minced garlic.
- Add the feta and stir, lightly mashing it into the mixture using a fork. Taste and season as needed with salt and pepper. Spring over some small dill sprigs, if using.
Notes
- This dip has a thick and slightly chunky texture. If you want to make it in a blender or food processor, you will get a bit more of a smoother, creamier whipped feta dip.
- You can also make whipped feta and ricotta, and blend that into the dip. Or try this dip with just whipped ricotta, for a lighter, milder flavor.
- Try fresh oregano instead of the dill.
- Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley to amp up the herbal flavor.
- Add 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest for a more pronounced lemony flavor.
