Whipped Feta and Dill Dip

Author: Flavelo
Sauces and Gravies Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes
A star of the Greek 'meze' table. The challenge lies in the texture: marrying crumbly, salty feta with creamy yogurt to create a spreadable, not runny, result. The freshness of dill and lemon perfectly counterbalances the richness of the cheese.

Instructions

1 ✓

Place feta in a bowl and crumble coarsely with a fork.

Tip: A rustic texture is the goal. If over-processed, feta structure collapses and becomes gummy.
2 ✓

Add yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well.

Tip: The emulsion of oil and yogurt mellows the intense saltiness of the cheese.
3 ✓

Press in the garlic and stir in chopped dill (stems removed).

Tip: Pressing the garlic breaks cell walls to release allicin (intense flavor).
4 ✓

Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

Tip: Fats solidify when chilled, making the dip thicker and more scoopable.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use 'salad cheese' instead of feta?
While cheaper, imitation feta is creamier and less flavorful. For the real experience, use authentic Greek block Feta.
Why rest it?
To allow flavors (garlic, dill) to permeate the fats.
