Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon Honey plus more for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh dill finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice fresh
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • 8 oz Block feta cheese packed in brine, drained
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt thick
  • Freshly ground black pepper pinch
  • Red pepper flakes pinch, optional
  • Pomegranate arils for garnish, optional

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Serving bowl

Method
 

  1. Add the drained feta cheese and Greek yogurt to a food processor. Process for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes silky smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and honey to the processor. Blend again until everything is beautifully incorporated, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the chopped fresh dill and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Taste and adjust flavors if needed - add more lemon juice for brightness, honey for sweetness, or olive oil for silkiness.
  5. To serve, swirl the whipped feta into a shallow bowl, creating ridges that will catch the toppings.
  6. Drizzle generously with additional honey and olive oil. Garnish with extra fresh dill and pomegranate arils if desired.

Notes

For a looser dip consistency, add a tablespoon of milk or water. For a thicker spread perfect for sandwiches, reduce the yogurt to 1/3 cup. The quality of feta matters - always use block feta packed in brine rather than pre-crumbled for the smoothest texture.
This dip keeps well in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Give it a quick stir before serving if you have leftovers. Serve with warm pita chips, crostini, fresh vegetables, or use as a spread for sandwiches.
