Ingredients
- 8 oz block of quality feta, drained
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (more as needed)
- 2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped (optional garnish)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
- 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts (optional garnish)
- 2 tbsp crushed pistachios (optional garnish)
Directions
In the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a blade, combine the feta, Greek yogurt and lemon zest. Blend, and while the processor is running, drizzle olive oil through the top opening, until the feta is whipped to a smooth mixture.
Transfer the whipped feta to a serving plate. With the back of your spoon, smooth the top of the feta, making an indentation in the middle (or a “well”). Pour a bit of olive oil all over the feta, then top with fresh herbs, and nuts (optional).
Serve with fresh pita or crostini
