Time 15m

Yield Makes about 1½ cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 8-oz block feta cheese
½ cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise, best quality such as Hellman's or Duke's
Zest from 1 lemon (about 1 teaspoon, packed)
1 small clove garlic, chopped
¼ teaspoon dried dill
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more for serving
Toasted sesame seeds
Extra virgin olive, for drizzling
Toasted pita wedges (or pita chips) and/or sliced vegetables

Steps:

Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl and use a small spoon to create a swirl on the surface of the dip. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.
MAKE AHEAD: This dip can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. It will stiffen up in the fridge to a spread-like consistency, so be sure to let it sit at room temperature for about an hour before serving.
To make the toasted pita wedges: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush the pita bread on both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cut into wedges, then arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes until lightly toasted.
To make the toasted sesame seeds: In a small pan over medium heat, cook the sesame seeds, stirring frequently, until golden, a few minutes. Watch carefully as they are quick to burn.

Categories Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

5 ounces feta cheese
1/4 cup buttermilk or 1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill (or 1/4 tsp. dried)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper

Steps:

With a fork, mash the cheese and buttermilk together until it resembled the consistency of cottage cheese.
Add the remaining ingredients and blend well.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Let sit, covered, in the refrigerator at least a few hours to blend flavors.
If it's too thick, just add a little milk until it's the texture you desire.
This is sooo good on a salad with fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, slices of red onions, and kalamata or ripe olives.

Tips:

Use full-fat feta cheese for the best flavor and texture.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
To make the dip ahead of time, simply cover it and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
Serve the dip with a variety of dippers, such as pita chips, crackers, vegetables, or fruit.
For a more flavorful dip, try using a flavored olive oil, such as garlic or herb-infused oil.

Conclusion:

This feta and buttermilk dip is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, tangy, and flavorful, and it is sure to be a hit with your guests. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have this dip ready in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this feta and buttermilk dip a try.
