Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Feta Dip
  1. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 cloves of pressed garlic, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill, the juice of half a lemon, and the zest from the same lemon. Using a spatula, mix these ingredients until they are well-integrated and creamy in texture, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Next, take a hand mixer and whip the creamy mixture on high speed for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and airy. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
  3. Gently fold in 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese by hand, using a spatula. Avoid overmixing; you want to maintain some chunky bits of feta for texture.
  4. Transfer the Garlic Feta Dip into a shallow serving dish for an appealing presentation. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on top for added flavor.
  5. Serve the Garlic Feta Dip immediately with a platter of pita bread, fresh veggies, or crackers. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

Let the dip sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to regain its creamy texture. Don't overmix to keep it fluffy.
