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

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a food processor, combine the feta cheese, garlic, avocado, lemon juice, dill, mint, basil, chives, and Dijon mustard. Pulse briefly to start blending the ingredients.
  2. Step 2: With the processor running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil until the mixture is fully combined and emulsified. Then add 1/4 cup water, or more if needed, to reach your desired dip consistency.
  3. Step 3: Taste the dip and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper as needed.
  4. Step 4: Serve immediately with your favorite dippers like fresh vegetables, crackers, or bread. Alternatively, transfer the dip to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Tips & Variations

  • Substitute green onions for chives if you prefer a milder onion flavor.
  • For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • If the dip is too thick, gradually add more water or olive oil to adjust the texture.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best brightness and flavor.

Storage

Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The dip may thicken after chilling; stir in a little water or olive oil before serving to loosen it. For best flavor, consume within the first two days.

How to Serve

A white bowl with a black rim holds a creamy green spread that has a smooth and slightly chunky texture with visible small green herb flecks throughout. The spread is swirled in a spiral pattern and topped with small white crumbles scattered across the surface. Surrounding the bowl is a ring of sliced multigrain bread pieces with a light brown crust, visible seeds, and a soft, porous interior. The whole scene is set on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
