Instructions
Instructions
- Blend the feta: Add the feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper to a food processor. Blend until completely smooth and fluffy.
- Prepare the herbs: Add the parsley, basil, dill, chives, green onion, capers (if using), olive oil, and lemon zest to the food processor. Pulse until finely chopped but still vibrant.
- Combine: Fold the herb mixture into the whipped feta or pulse briefly for a light green color while maintaining flecks of fresh herbs.
- Transfer: Spoon the dip into a shallow serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create decorative swirls.
- Garnish: Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with extra chopped herbs and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Enjoy with pita chips, fresh vegetables, crackers, warm pita bread, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
Notes
Use high-quality block feta rather than pre-crumbled feta for the creamiest texture. Fresh herbs provide the brightest flavor, and the dip can be made up to two days ahead. For an extra burst of freshness, garnish with additional lemon zest just before serving.
