🧰 Equipment Needed
- Food processor or blender
- Spatula
- Knife and cutting board
- Mixing bowl (if finishing by hand)
🛒 Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese (preferably block feta for creamier texture)
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for drizzling)
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (optional for extra creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, chopped

👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Prep the Avocados
Halve the avocados, remove pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor.
Step 2: Blend the Base
Add feta, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and Greek yogurt (if using).
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
💡 Pro Tip: For a chunkier texture, pulse lightly instead of blending fully — it’s amazing as a rustic spread!
Step 3: Add Flavor & Adjust
Stir in chopped herbs, honey (if using), and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Blend again until everything is well incorporated and silky.
Taste — add more lemon for tang, feta for salt, or olive oil for richness.
Step 4: Serve & Garnish
Spoon the dip into a shallow bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with red pepper flakes, extra feta, or herbs.
Serve with pita chips, fresh vegetables, warm flatbread, or crusty baguette slices.
