Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g good quality crumbly feta cheese, crumbled
  • 120g Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh tarragon, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Variations

  • 120g coconut or cashew yogurt (for dairy-free/vegan option)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes or splash of hot sauce (for a spicy twist)
  • 50g cream cheese (for extra creaminess)
  • 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts or walnuts (for nutty flavor)
  • Alternate fresh herbs such as basil, dill, or cilantro

Instructions

  1. Gather and Prepare Ingredients: Crush or crumble the feta cheese to make blending easier. Wash and roughly chop the fresh herbs. Mince the garlic finely. Preparing these ahead ensures smooth and efficient blending.
  2. Blend the Base: In a food processor or blender, combine the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Blend until the mixture is creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Add Fresh Herbs: Add the chopped parsley, chives, and tarragon to the blended base. Pulse a few times to incorporate while keeping small herb pieces visible for texture and bursts of flavor.
  4. Season and Adjust: Taste the dip and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. If the dip feels too thick, add a splash of olive oil or a teaspoon of water to reach your preferred creamy consistency.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Transfer the dip to a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and the texture to thicken slightly, making it ideal for spreading or dipping.

Notes

  • Use cold ingredients to keep the dip fresh and improve texture when blending.
  • Fresh herbs are key: the brighter they are, the more vibrant the dip’s flavor and color.
  • Adjust lemon juice gradually to avoid overpowering the feta with acidity.
  • Blend longer for a fluffier, lighter texture.
  • Serve with crisp vegetables or sturdy bread to complement the creamy dip.
