Method

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.

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.

Notes

🧊 Storage & Reheating

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Prevent Browning: Press plastic wrap directly onto the dip’s surface before sealing. Do Not Freeze: The avocado base will lose texture once thawed.

Cream Cheese Addition: Add 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese for extra decadence. Roasted Garlic Upgrade: Roast the garlic before blending for mellow sweetness. Avocado Tzatziki Fusion: Add grated cucumber and a bit more yogurt. Lemon-Basil Feta Dip: Use basil and lemon zest for a summery version. Chunky Salad Style: Fold in diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions after blending. Vegan Adaptation: Use vegan feta and coconut yogurt. Smoky Flavor: Add smoked paprika or a drizzle of hot honey for depth.
