Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 8 ounce block feta cheese
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1/2 lemon zested
  • 3 tablespoons harissa paste

Instructions

  • Break the feta into small cubes and place them in the food processor with the Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Process on high speed until the feta is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. 
  • Next add the garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Pulse to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 
  • In a small bowl, stir together the harissa paste and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. 
  • There are two great ways to serve this dip - either add the harissa to the feta dip and pulse to combine or transfer the feta dip to a serving bowl and drizzle with the harissa oil. Up to you! 
  • Enjoy immediately and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
