Feta Dip

Simple feta dip with olive oil and herbs

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.
