Feta Dip

I’m on a bit of a feta kick at the moment. I absolutely love French feta, which is a bit more mild and creamier than the more tangy, crumbly version most people associate with feta cheese.

When I came across a recipe for Feta Dip, I loved the concept, and knew French Feta would be perfect for it.

This dip is a nice alternative to the normal dips found at parties. The flavors are similar to tzatziki; serve with toasted pita or pita chips.

Ingredients:

• 12 oz French feta
• 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 8 oz  cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• the juice and zest of 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons chopped dill, plus more for serving
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 3/4 cup chopped deseeded cucumber
• 1/2 cup multi-colored cherry tomatoes, quartered

Add the feta, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a large bowl. Mix using a hand mixer until fully combined and fluffy.

Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or more, if you’d like a little heat,) and chopped dill.

Add 1/2 cup chopped cucumber, stirring to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Add the remaining 1/4 cup chopped cumber and 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes to a small bowl, and combine.

Top the dip with the cucumber tomato mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chopped dill.

This is a great party app! It’s creamy, zesty, and so fresh tasting. I like the bite of cucumber throughout the dip and the little bursts from the bites of tomatoes.

It comes together really quickly, so it can be made right ahead of an event. You can also make it ahead of time; just keep the toppings separate until just before serving.
