Whipped Feta Dip

The stuffed onions were part of the protein for my mezze dinner, but I wanted another half-protein.  I could have done hummus or tzatziki, and even bought the cucumber.  Then I found this by accident while researching mezze ideas and decided to add it to my dip repertoire.

The recipe I'm following is a blank canvas.  The simple dip tastes great on its own, but you can jazz it up to fit your menu.  Use chili flakes for spice.  Dill to put on top of fish.  The photo is sumac and rosemary.  Another serving had horseradish stirred into it.  It's all about making it your own.

8 oz feta
*3/4 C Greek yogurt
2 Tb olive oil
*2 Tb lemon juice
*1 clove garlic
herb and spice garnishes of choice

1.  Peel the garlic and put everything in the food processor.  Pulse at first, then run to desired consistency.  I went for still a little chunky.  It was kind of like small-curd cottage cheese, but less runny.

2.  If desired, stir in any herbs or spices.  Store refrigerated until ready to use.
