Description
A creamy, salty, and briny Green Olive and Feta Cheese Dip loaded with Mediterranean flavors. Perfect for crackers, veggies, crostini, or as part of a mezze platter.
Ingredients
8 oz feta cheese (block)
1 cup green olives, pitted (Castelvetrano recommended)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried oregano or thyme
Fresh parsley, chopped (for topping)
Extra olive oil for drizzling
Crackers, pita chips, or veggies for serving
Instructions
1. Add feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, and oregano to a food processor.
2. Blend until mostly smooth.
3. Add the green olives and pulse several times to keep some texture.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon, herbs, or olives.
5. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with additional olive oil.
6. Top with chopped parsley and extra chopped olives if desired.
7. Serve with crackers, pita, or vegetables.
Notes
For a smoother dip, blend the olives fully instead of pulsing.
Use Castelvetrano olives for a buttery, mild flavor.
Add red pepper flakes for heat.
Great as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.
