Instructions

Add the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, and lemon zest to the bowl of a food processor. Blend the mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl 2-3 times, until the dip is creamy and there are no big chunks of cheese.

With the food processor running, drizzle 1 tablespoon (14 milliliters) of olive oil into the dip. Blend for 1-2 minutes and then test the consistency – the dip should be super creamy and fluffy. If it's too thick, continue adding olive oil 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.

Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and drizzle it with honey, to taste. Sprinkle the dip with red pepper flakes, black pepper, and/or sesame seeds, if using. Serve the dip right away with bread, pita, fruit, or other dippers. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Crumble Feta Finely Before Whipping 🧀
Break feta into small pieces before blending to ensure it whips into a completely smooth, cloud-like texture without any grainy chunks remaining.
Chill Your Blender Bowl 🧊
Pre-chill your food processor or blender bowl for 5 minutes to keep the mixture cool and help it whip to maximum volume and fluffiness.
Toast Seeds for Enhanced Flavor 🌱
Lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before garnishing to unlock their nutty oils and intensify the overall flavor profile.
Warm Honey Drizzle Technique 🍯
Gently warm your honey for 10 seconds in the microwave before drizzling so it flows beautifully over the whipped feta and creates an elegant presentation.
Reserve Lemon Zest for Finishing 🍋
Add half the lemon zest while whipping and reserve the other half to sprinkle on top just before serving, ensuring bright, fresh citrus notes in every bite.
