Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 5 ounces feta cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 large avocado, peeled and pitted
- 1 lemon, juiced (about 2-3 tablespoons)
- 1/2 cup packed fresh dill
- 1/2 cup packed fresh mint
- 1/2 cup packed fresh basil
- 1/2 cup packed fresh chives (or green onions)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water (plus more if needed for consistency)
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients. Add the feta cheese, garlic cloves, peeled avocado, lemon juice, fresh dill, mint, basil, chives, and Dijon mustard into a food processor. Pulse briefly to start combining the ingredients and break them down evenly.
- Emulsify. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup of olive oil to emulsify the mixture until fully combined and smooth. Then, add 1/4 cup of water gradually (or more if necessary) to reach your preferred dip consistency.
- Season the Dip. Taste the dip and add sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper as needed. Blend briefly again if necessary to mix in the seasoning evenly.
- Serve. Serve the dip immediately with your favorite dippers such as vegetables, crackers, or pita bread. Alternatively, transfer the dip to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 3 days to allow the flavors to develop further.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor impact in this dip.
- Adjust the water quantity to achieve your desired thickness; more water will make the dip smoother and more spreadable.
- This dip keeps well refrigerated but is best enjoyed within 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Try serving with raw veggies, toasted pita, or crunchy crackers for a perfect appetizer or snack.
