Ingredients
  

For the Dip
  • 8 oz Feta Cheese Block feta in brine is preferred for extra creaminess.
  • 1 cup Roasted Red Peppers Opt for homemade or jarred varieties.
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt Adds a luscious creaminess; sour cream can be substituted.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic enhances flavor.
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice Freshly squeezed juice brightens the dip beautifully.
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika Adds a hint of smokiness.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Quality extra virgin olive oil makes the dip smooth and flavorful.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley Provides a burst of color and freshness as a garnish.

Equipment

  • Food Processor

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, add block feta cheese, roasted red peppers, Greek yogurt, fresh garlic, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Pulse for about 30 seconds until it starts to break down but retains some texture.
  2. With the food processor running, gradually drizzle in quality extra virgin olive oil. Continue blending for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the dip transforms into a smooth and airy texture.
  3. After achieving a creamy consistency, check the dip’s thickness. If too thick, add more Greek yogurt or a little extra olive oil to reach desired creaminess.
  4. Taste your dip and adjust the seasoning as necessary, adding a pinch of salt, freshly cracked black pepper, or more smoked paprika.
  5. Transfer the dip into a serving bowl. Garnish with crumbled feta, chopped roasted peppers, and fresh parsley.
  6. Just before serving, drizzle a little olive oil over the top for enhanced visual appeal and flavor.
