Ingredients

Scale

Feta Herb Dip

  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Bread and Vegetables

  • 1 large rustic bread loaf (sourdough or country bread), sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup cucumber slices
  • 1/3 cup olives (black or green)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Feta Herb Dip: In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, fresh thyme leaves, minced garlic, and chili flakes if using. Stir thoroughly until the ingredients form a smooth, creamy dip.
  2. Season the Dip: Taste the mixture and add salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your preference. Mix again to ensure the seasoning is evenly incorporated.
  3. Present the Dip: Transfer the creamy feta dip into a serving bowl. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil on top for extra richness and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley to add a burst of color and fresh herbal aroma.
  4. Arrange the Board: On a serving board or platter, neatly arrange the sliced rustic bread along with cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and olives. This creates an inviting spread for dipping and snacking.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Place the herb feta dip bowl alongside the arranged bread and vegetables. Encourage guests to scoop the creamy dip with bread slices and fresh vegetables for a tasty Mediterranean-inspired snack.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the chili flakes or add a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • Use day-old or slightly toasted bread for the best textural contrast with the creamy dip.
  • Fresh herbs like mint or dill can be added for a different flavor profile.
  • This dip can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Olives can be swapped for sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers for variation.
