Description

Imagine effortlessly creating an appetizer that transports you and your guests straight to a sun-drenched Mediterranean coast. This dip is the perfect, elegant starter that requires no cooking and is ready in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil

 

  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs, finely chopped (such as oregano, mint, thyme)
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons olives (green, Kalamata, or both), chopped
  • Zest and juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt, to taste (optional)


Instructions

  • Combine Base Ingredients: In a shallow serving dish or bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, finely chopped fresh herbs, crumbled feta cheese, crushed garlic, and chopped olives. Mix well to distribute evenly.

 

  • Add Lemon and Honey: Stir in the lemon zest and juice, followed by the honey. Mix gently so the flavors meld without breaking down the cheese too much.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the dip and add a pinch of salt if needed — be mindful that both feta and olives can be salty.
  • Serve: Garnish with more herbs and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with warm crusty bread, toasted baguette slices, or soft flatbread.
