Instructions

Blend Dip Base: Add feta, cream cheese (or yogurt), garlic, and lemon zest to a food processor. Blitz for about 10 seconds until fairly smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

Add Olive Oil: With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Continue blending until the mixture is silky smooth and creamy.

Serve: Spread the dip in a shallow bowl or plate, about 1.5 cm (0.6″) thick. Create swirls using the back of a spoon.

Top & Garnish: Drizzle with honey and extra olive oil. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios, parsley, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest.

Serve Immediately: Offer with your choice of bread, crackers, or veggie sticks.

Notes

Feta Choice: Danish feta blends smoother than traditional Greek feta, which may have a grainier texture.

Substitutions: Cream cheese can be replaced with yogurt or sour cream (use ⅓ cup).

Topping Variations: Try maple syrup, other nuts (walnuts, pecans), or additions like olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or dried fruit.

Storage: Store dip (without toppings) in the fridge for up to 3 days. Top just before serving.

No Stand Mixer: A food processor or stick blender is required for best texture.
