Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (like parsley or dill) for garnish
- Vegetables, pita chips, or crackers for serving
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the crumbled feta cheese and softened cream cheese. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cheeses together on medium speed until they are well combined and creamy (about 1-2 minutes). If you don’t have a mixer, you can use a fork to mash them together.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the cheese mixture and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuing to mix. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
- Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice, add the minced garlic, and sprinkle in the dried oregano. Mix until well combined. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- If the dip is too thick, add a little more olive oil or a splash of water until you reach your desired creaminess.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for enhanced flavors).
- Before serving, garnish with fresh herbs and drizzle with extra olive oil if desired. Serve with an assortment of dippers like fresh vegetables, pita chips, or crackers.
