Ingredients
8 oz block of feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup roasted pistachios, roughly chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Place the crumbled feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, and minced garlic into a food processor.
Pulse the mixture for 2-3 minutes, using a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides until the texture is light, airy, and glossy.
Transfer the whipped feta to a shallow serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create swirls or a well in the center.
Drizzle the honey generously over the dip.
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios and dried cranberries evenly over the top.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and serve immediately.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving again. If the dip is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of Greek yogurt or a small splash of olive oil and continue blending until the desired consistency is reached. For the best texture, use high-quality block feta in brine instead of pre-crumbled cheese.
