Greek Feta Dip

feta

c. Greek yogurt

(8-oz.) block cream cheese, softened

extra-virgin olive oil, plus

lemon

Kosher salt

crushed red pepper flakes

tbsp. dill,

c. chopped cucumber

c. halved cherry tomatoes

Pita chips,

Would you add kalamata olives to this recipe?

Great recipe, especially with the added seasoning. Some sliced black olives on the top is yummy as well

Agree with Gold Controller and the comments that this recipe is awesome, but needs a bit more. 

I made sure to squeeze ALL the lemon juice, added a few fresh cloves of garlic, and some dried oregano, subbed dried dill (and added a bit more than the amount called for). 

That was enough to make this a crowdpleaser. I served this as one of several dips at a superbowl party, and this was one only one that was finished by the end of the night! So delicious.

I served with pita chips, and people also liked to take tomatoes, cucumbers, yellow peppers and carrots from the veggie tray nearby to eat with this dip, which is a great, more healthy option!

I did not have a hand-mixer, so I used a fork to beat this...it took longer than listed in the recipe, and was a bit more tiring, but still achieved a great, smooth whipped texture as mentioned. 

Will definitely be making this again. Thank you to delish for the recipe and the comments for a heads up that some improvisation works well with this recipe!

Made this for Super Bowl.  Very easy and very yummy. It was a huge hit. Definitely a hit and have friends who want the recipe.  Thanks!

You really need to “jazz” up this recipie in order to get a true authentic taste. In short, SEASON THIS DIP. 

Add some oregano, garlic (powder or cloves), onion (powder or whole red onion), pepper, and maybe a dash of thyme. Use sea salt if you have it on hand. 

If you plan on bringing this dip to some sort of event or pot luck, I suggest reducing the amount of olive oil just incase people are picky about it. Using the full amount gives plenty of the olive oil flavor, but in my experiences, not too many people who don’t cook with it or eat with it on a regular basis aren’t exactly fans of the taste. 

Overall, the recipie is a great base for a refreshing appetizer. But people, please season your food. Greeks enjoy their seasonings and use them generously. And I say that from personal experience.

I added Greek salad dressing mix to spice it up a bit as recommended and it really made a difference!

I made this for my New Years party and it was a BIG HIT! Everyone loved it. I didn’t have lemon and dill, but I added garlic salt with parsley and it was so delicious. Yum! Two thumbs up!

made it as-is tonight (half recipe), and I may add kalamata olives and minced pickled peperoncini peppers, but it’s bright and tasty with the lemon zest.

I added kalamata olives ad garlic powder. It was just ok.

People Are Losing Their Minds Over This Greek Feta Dip

Less work than traditional moussaka and gluten-free, our Greek-style bake of potatoes and aubergines layered with lamb mince is topped with crème fraîche

Easy moussaka

potatoes

tbsp olive oil,plus extra for brushing

red onion,sliced

lamb mince

garlic cloves,crushed

tsp mixed spice

carton passata

tub crème fraîche

cheddar,grated

Boil the potatoes whole for 20 mins or just until tender. Drain and allow to cool.

Return the pan to the heat and add 2 tbsp olive oil and the onion. Cook until softened, then add the lamb. Fry the mince for 5 mins or until cooked through and starting to char. Add the garlic and spice, and stir in the passata. Bring to a simmer, then season to taste, take off the heat and set aside until needed.

Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Warm a griddle pan over a high heat and brush a little oil over the aubergines. Grill for 2-3 mins each side or until char lines appear. You may have to do this in 3-4 batches.

Once cool enough to handle, cut the boiled potatoes into thick slices. Put 1 tbsp oil in the base of a deep ovenproof dish and start with a layer of potatoes, then aubergines, a sprinkling of seasoning, then a layer of the lamb mixture. Repeat until all the mixture is used up, ending with a layer of aubergines. Spread the crème fraîche over the top and scatter with the cheese. Put in the oven for 10 mins or until the cheese is golden.

I like the recipe but I would like to make it with non cooked chicken or chickpeas. Do you know what the nutitional values of the fat, protein, energy, etc might be?  Do you know how I can calculate this? Perhaps you can direct me to a website that calculates this? Thank you very much.

Look at all those beautiful colors! This recipe looks AMAZING, I can't wait to try it. Thank you for sharing!

OMG sooooo good! I just made this with chicken AND chickpeas. Didn’t need to adjust any of the other ingredients! Served it with mixed greens and some Rustica bread. 😋 Wish I could post my pic - it’s so pretty! 

I made this today using cooked chicken. It was delish! Thank you for coming up with these wonderful recipes!!

I made the Greek Baked Orzo last night and it was delicious. My husband had two servings. Great one pot dish and very tasty too. Definitely will be making it again.

This was delicious. Even my chick pea and kale hating hubby loves it! We topped it with the feta and lemon juice and are officially hooked. Zero complaints on this heart healthy dinner. Bonus, it reheats beautifully for lunch at work the next day :)

This is delicious!  Complex flavours for a quick dish and the fresh dill makes it pop

I made this on Sunday and it is really tasty! I used chickpeas + veggie broth so it's vegetarian, and it was really easy, makes a lot and is delicious! It's also hearty but not heavy, so it's been great to have the leftovers at lunch this week so far!

This was so delicious! This morning while my baby napped, I prepped to the point of simmering stovetop, then transferred to a baking dish and put it in the fridge. At dinner time, I added a little extra water, stirred it up, and baked in the oven for about 20 minutes. My 4 year old and 6 year old enjoyed it too!!

Can I use whole grain penne in this recipe? How should I adjust the cooking time. I loved it with orzo!! Just trying to go whole grain and can’t find whole grain orzo.

This recipe is outstanding! So flavorful. I bumped up the garlic, just because.. more garlic can never be a bad thing, but I'm so glad I stumbled upon this one. It's a keeper all the way! I may have gone back for seconds, but no shame here. Super healthful recipe, too! Thanks for sharing. :)

Wow! This is amazing and so easy to make. I made it with shredded chicken from the instant pot. 10/10! Will definitely be making again and again!

What can I say?  Soooo good &amp; soooo easy!
Thank you so much!

This was delicious, thank you! And I appreciate that it’s such an easily customizable recipe. I’ve remade this half a dozen times now, subbing 1/2 cup of the broth for red wine for some more flavor.

Get that Greek holiday feeling at home with our easy halloumi gyros recipe. These grab-and-devour wraps are crammed with halloumi and chips. Can&#8217;t get enough squeaky cheese? Work your way through our 19 ways with halloumi

Halloumi gyros with herby chips

halloumi, sliced

tsp runny honey

garlic powder

½ tsp chilli flakes

oregano sprigs, leaves picked

Grated zest and juice ½ lemon

fluffy flatbread (we used a Turkish flatbread)

tzatziki

¼ red onion, thinly sliced

4-5 cherry tomatoes, halved,

¼ cucumber, cut into half moons

For the herby chips

Heat the oven to 180ºC fan/gas 6. To cook the chips, grease the baking tray with the olive oil and put in the oven to heat up.

Rinse the chipped potatoes in cold water to remove any excess starch, then pat dry with a clean tea towel. Spread the chips over the hot baking tray and toss with the dried oregano and a good sprinkle of salt. Bake for 30-40 minutes until crisp and golden, turning after 15 minutes.

When the chips are nearly cooked, toss the sliced halloumi, honey, garlic powder, chilli flakes, most of the fresh oregano and the lemon zest and juice in a bowl. Heat the griddle pan over a high heat and cook the halloumi for 2-3 minutes on each side until charred evenly.

To assemble, warm the flatbread on the still-hot griddle pan or in the oven for 2 minutes. Spread the bread with a good helping of tzatziki, then pile on some herby chips, the halloumi, red onion, tomatoes and sliced cucumber. Sprinkle with the remaining fresh oregano and an extra dollop of tzatziki, then wrap the flatbread around the filling and enjoy with the rest of the chips on the side, preferably in the sunshine with a cold drink.

Kataifi is a very popular dessert in the Middle East, Turkey and Greece, and is made from shredded phyllo dough (angel hair), and a mixture of nuts, butter, and coarsely chopped pistachios. After cooking, the kataifi is generously soaked in a cinnamon-flavored sugar syrup.
