HERBY FETA AND YOGURT DIP WITH SUMAC



Herby Feta and Yogurt Dip With Sumac image

This tangy and creamy dip is the perfect appetizer for a warm summer evening outside, and it makes a nice condiment for grilled meats and veggies, too. Fresh green herbs brighten up the salty feta, and sumac gives it another layer of flavor and a gorgeous pop of color. Choose a feta in brine over vacuum-packed, if you've got the option. Feta varies a lot in salt content, so you won't see a measured amount of salt here; just taste the dip and add a bit if you think it needs it.

Categories     snack, dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 5m

Yield 6 servings (about 1 1/4 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 130 grams)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons dried sumac, plus more for serving
Salt, to taste
Olive oil, for serving
Pita chips or crudités, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the yogurt, feta and lemon juice to the bowl of a food processor. Purée the mixture until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the parsley, mint, scallions and sumac, and pulse a few times just to combine.
  • Transfer the dip to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Just before serving, give the dip a good stir and add salt to taste, if necessary. Top the dip with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle with additional parsley, mint, scallions and sumac. Serve with pita chips or crudités. Store leftovers, covered, in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • For a creamier dip, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
  • If you don't have feta cheese, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as goat cheese or Parmesan cheese.
  • To make the dip ahead of time, simply cover it and refrigerate it 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 pita chips, vegetables, or crackers.
  • For a more flavorful dip, add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or mint.
  • If you like a little bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the dip.
