Instructions
How to Make Pomegranate Pistachio Whipped Feta Dip
- In a food processor, mix crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt (or cream cheese), olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and minced garlic (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the whipped feta mixture to a shallow bowl or serving dish. Smooth the top using the back of a spoon to create an inviting surface for the toppings.
- Evenly scatter the pomegranate arils and chopped roasted pistachios over the surface of the whipped feta. This will not only enhance the flavor but also make it visually stunning.
- Drizzle olive oil over the top (optional) and add fresh herbs like parsley or mint for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately with pita, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.
Notes
Ensure your feta cheese is well-crumbled for easier blending. Chilling the dip for about 30 minutes before serving enhances the flavors. Add toppings just before serving to maintain their crunch.
