Spicy Feta Dip

Serves 4

I vividly remember having this dish in Santorini. The views and atmosphere were like something out of a dream. This dish is popular on Greek menus, and I have had many versions. This is a great recipe to alter with your own style. Make it creamier, spicier or extra cheesy.

Gluten free, nut free, vegetarian

Ingredients

8 ounces feta cheese
4 ounces full-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, or chili powder for less heat, optional

Directions

Cut cheese into chunks and place in a food processor. Add yogurt and olive oil to food processor and blend together. Once combined, add paprika, cayenne and ground pepper. Pulse a few times to combine. Finally, add about 2 teaspoons zest of lemon and 1 tablespoon juice of lemon. Mix again and serve cold with veggies like carrot sticks or cucumber slices.
