Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 oz block feta cheese
- ¾ cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 8 oz hummus I like Cava brand
- 8 oz Tzatziki sauce I like Cava brand
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup diced cucumbers
- ½ cup chopped kalamata olives
- ½ cup diced pepperoncinis
- ½ cup crumbled feta for topping
- chopped mint and parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the block of feta, Greek yogurt, lemon zest, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning, and 1 tbsp olive oil in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, scraping down the sides halfway through. Spread this out in a thin layer on a plate or in a casserole dish.
- Next, spread the hummus over top, followed by a layer of the tzatziki sauce.
- Next add the diced tomatoes, diced cucumbers, olives and pepperoncinis. Sprinkle some of the feta on top along with the chopped parsley and mint.
- Serve with Simple Mills triangle pita crisps or other gluten free pita chips of choice and enjoy!
Notes
- Even though this Mediterranean feta dip is naturally gluten-free, it’s always important to double-check ingredient labels to avoid hidden sources of gluten.
- If you don’t have a food processor you can use a stand mixer instead. Just make sure you mix until it’s super smooth.
- Let the feta come to room temperature before blending for the smoothest consistency.
- Want more flavor? Add a pinch of black pepper, sea salt, garlic powder, or a squeeze of lemon juice to help balance all of the flavors.
- For a spicy kick, sprinkle on some red pepper flakes before serving.
- Customize it! Try adding roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, green onions, or even a drizzle of honey for a sweet/savory contrast.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Prepare the whipped feta base up to 2 days in advance and store it separately. Assemble the rest before serving.
