This Mediterranean-inspired dip combines creamy yogurt with tangy feta and fresh herbs for a delightful appetizer or snack.
Place the Greek yogurt in a strainer lined with a coffee filter to remove excess liquid.
Straining the yogurt makes the dip thicker and creamier.
Transfer the strained yogurt to a mixing bowl.
Use a spatula to scrape all the yogurt from the filter.
Add the crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, and olive oil to the bowl.
Mix gently to keep the feta slightly chunky for texture.
Finely dice the cucumber and fold it into the mixture.
Ensure the cucumber is diced evenly for a consistent texture.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
Chilling enhances the flavor and allows the ingredients to combine.
Serve the dip with pita chips or fresh vegetables.
Garnish with a sprig of dill or a drizzle of olive oil for presentation.
