Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full fat recommended)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and black pepper into a food processor.
- Process the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This usually takes 1 to 2 minutes.

Notes
- For a sweeter version, drizzle with honey or hot honey just before serving.

- You can make this dip up to two days ahead; store it covered in the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 20 minutes before serving for the best texture.
