Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 6 oz crumbled feta cheese (approx. 1.5 cups)
- 2 cups chopped tomato
- 1 cup chopped English cucumber
- ½ cup chopped green onion
Dressing Ingredients
- 3–4 TBSP quality olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 TBSP lemon juice
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ⅛ tsp dried dill
- ⅛ tsp dried oregano leaves
Instructions
- Chop Vegetables: Thoroughly chop the tomatoes, English cucumber, and green onions into small, bite-sized pieces to ensure even flavor distribution throughout the dip.
- Prepare Feta Cheese: If you are using a block of feta instead of pre-crumbled, break it down into small crumb pieces to help it meld well with the vegetables.
- Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive or avocado oil, lemon juice, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, dried dill, and oregano leaves to create a flavorful and aromatic dressing.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese with the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, and green onions, ensuring an even mix.
- Toss with Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the combined ingredients and gently toss to coat everything evenly without breaking down the feta too much.
- Serve: Serve the Mediterranean Feta Dip immediately with pita chips, crackers, or as a vibrant topping for salads for a refreshing and healthy appetizer.
