Feta Dip

Feta dip is a creamy, tangy spread made primarily from feta cheese blended with simple ingredients like yogurt, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice. It’s a popular dish in Mediterranean cuisine, known for its bold, salty flavor balanced with a smooth, rich texture.

What I love about this dish is how quick and affordable it is to prepare; no cooking required, just blend and serve. You can make it extra creamy, slightly chunky, or even spicy with added herbs or chili.

How to Pair

• Crunchy cucumber slices
