Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 5 ounces feta cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 large avocado, peeled and pitted
- 1 lemon, juiced (about 2-3 tablespoons)
- 1/2 cup packed fresh dill
- 1/2 cup packed fresh mint
- 1/2 cup packed fresh basil
- 1/2 cup packed fresh chives (or green onions)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water (plus more as needed)
- Sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Blend: In a food processor, combine feta cheese, peeled garlic cloves, avocado, lemon juice, fresh dill, fresh mint, fresh basil, fresh chives, and Dijon mustard. Pulse briefly to mix the ingredients.
- Emulsify: While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup of olive oil until the mixture is well combined and emulsified. Then add 1/4 cup of water (or more) gradually to reach your desired creamy consistency.
- Season: Taste the dip and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper as needed, blending briefly to incorporate the seasoning evenly.
- Serve: Immediately serve the dip with your choice of crusty bread, fresh veggies, or crackers. Alternatively, transfer the dip to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Onion options: If you prefer, substitute the fresh chives or green onions with 1/4 cup chopped red onion or shallots for a different flavor profile.
- Adjust water quantity to achieve your preferred dip consistency, adding more if necessary.
- Best served fresh but can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days.
