Ingredients

  • 200 grams feta cheese, crumbled
  • 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 unit garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon za'atar spice blend
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese and Greek yogurt. Use a fork or a spatula to mash and mix them together until smooth and creamy. You can adjust the amount of yogurt for your preferred consistency.

Step 2

Add the olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice to the feta mixture. Stir well to incorporate.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the za'atar spice blend, fresh parsley, fresh dill, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), black pepper, and salt (if needed). Mix everything thoroughly until the herbs and spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Taste the spread, and adjust the seasoning with more lemon juice, salt, or pepper, if desired.

Step 5

Transfer the spread to a serving bowl. Optionally, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and a pinch of za'atar for garnish.

Step 6

Serve immediately with warm pita bread, crackers, or fresh veggies, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
