Ingredients
  

For the Dip
  • 8 ounces Feta Cheese Use block feta for the creamiest texture; pre-crumbled may be less flavorful.
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil Adjust to taste for desired creaminess; more means smoother dip.
  • 1 cup Fresh Parsley Packed; can swap with cilantro for a different twist.
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Basil Packed; provides a sweet aroma; feel free to use oregano as an alternative.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Mint Packed; imparts refreshing notes; dill is a suitable substitute if needed.
  • 2-3 Green Onions Adds a mild onion flavor; shallots can work if you prefer a sweeter note.
  • 2 cloves Garlic For a flavorful punch; adjust based on your garlic preference.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Brightens up the dip; lime juice can also be used in a pinch.
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest Elevates the citrus flavor; an extra splash of juice works if zest is missing.
  • Salt Essential for seasoning; adjust to your liking for the perfect taste.
  • Black Pepper Essential for seasoning; adjust to your liking for the perfect taste.

  • food processor

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Crumble 8 ounces of block feta cheese into smaller pieces and place them into your food processor.
  2. Add 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the food processor with the crumbled feta. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture starts to come together into a smooth paste.
  3. Continue blending for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides until you reach a creamy consistency. Add extra olive oil if too thick.
  4. Incorporate 1 cup of fresh parsley, 1/2 cup of fresh basil, 1/4 cup of fresh mint, and 2-3 chopped green onions. Pulse several times to combine.
  5. Taste the dip and season with salt and black pepper. Blend once more until mixed.
  6. Transfer the dip to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavors, though it can be served immediately.
  7. Serve the dip with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or as a sandwich spread.
