Description
A creamy and tangy whipped feta dip paired with sweet and savory roasted tomatoes. Perfect as an appetizer or snack served with crusty bread or fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
16 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with dried oregano and kosher salt, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
While the tomatoes roast, combine the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper in a food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer the whipped feta dip to a serving bowl.
Spoon the roasted tomatoes over the whipped feta dip and drizzle with a little extra olive oil.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately with crusty bread, pita chips, or fresh vegetable sticks.
