This is the best feta cheese dip ever. It is so tangy, salty, and completely addictive. People often comment that they would like to lick the bowl. Great on pitas, used as a dip, or alongside souvlaki.
Ingredients
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 1 pinch white sugar
- 1 pound feta cheese, cut into small cubes
Directions
Step 1
Combine olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice, paprika, garlic, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sugar in a food processor; pulse mixture until smooth. Add a couple of feta cubes at a time, processing between batches until mixture is thick and smooth.
Step 2
Transfer dip to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Cook’s Note:
Use whatever feta cheese you prefer, but I've found creamy Greek or Macedonian feta to work best.
