Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the Mediterranean Lemon Feta Dip. Ensure that the feta cheese is crumbled if using a block and gather your Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, and garlic. Having everything at room temperature helps ensure a smooth consistency while blending, so let them sit out for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a food processor, combine crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Process this mixture for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes creamy and smooth.
  3. While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil. Continue blending for an additional 1-2 minutes until the oil is fully incorporated.
  4. Once the dip is perfectly blended, transfer it to a charming serving bowl.
  5. Before serving, garnish your dip with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle fresh dill and freshly ground black pepper on top.
  6. For optimal flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dip for up to several days before serving.
