  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper finely diced (optional)
  • Fresh Parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Whisk: In a bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt and olive oil until smooth.
  2. Season: Add minced garlic, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir well.
  3. Fold: Gently fold in the crumbled feta, chopped olives, and red bell pepper.
  4. Garnish: Transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with more olive oil and top with a few whole olives.

Notes

  • Texture Tip: For a "Whipped Feta" style, place all ingredients except the olives in a food processor and blend until smooth, then stir the olives in by hand.
  • Salt Warning: Feta and olives are naturally salty; avoid adding extra salt until you have tasted the finished dip.
  • Make Ahead: This dip stays fresh in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
