Feta is having a real moment right now with all the feta pasta recipes going around. It's a great, brined cheese that has so much tangy and salty flavor. It's a cheese that most people enjoy eating, so this would be a great recipe to take to a potluck or picnic to share with others.
Ingredients You'll Need
Feta - You'll need 8 ounces (½ pound) of feta cheese. You can buy it as a block or use crumbles - either will work since you'll be blending it.
Yogurt - You'll need 7 ounces of Greek yogurt. I used lower fat yogurt, but feel free to use whichever one you'd like.
Olive Oil - You'll use 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the dip and if you'd like, you can top the dip with another tablespoon or two of olive oil.
Spices - You'll need ½ teaspoon of sea salt and ¼ teaspoon of sumac for this recipe.
Pine Nuts - You'll use 3 tablespoons of toasted pine nuts to top the dip.
Herbs - This is optional, but you can top the dip with 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. You could also use dill, oregano, or chives as well.
