2 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
2 tablespoons greek yogurt
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 small garlic clove*
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
juice of 1 small lemon
1 tablespoon diced cucumbers for garnish, optional
1 tablespoon diced tomatoes, seeds removed for garnish, optional
Instructions
Set aside 1 tablespoon of feta crumbles for garnish
Place the remaining feta and all other ingredients except for the olive oil in a large food processor
Pulse on high until well combined
Scrape down the sides of the bowl then with the food processor on high, drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture becomes creamy and the feta crumbles have been combined
Serve immediately topped with feta cheese crumbles, diced cucumbers & tomatoes, and fresh vegetables or pita chips.
If you're serving later, refrigerate until ready. Before serving, allow the dip to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes prior to serving in order for it to soften and gain back a spreadable texture.
Dip should keep for 3-5 days, chilled.
Notes
*If you only have a large clove, cut it in half. If you really like garlic, feel free to add 2 small cloves but remember, raw garlic can overpower other flavors and often adds a bit of spice.
