Ingredients
  

For the Whipped Feta
  • 8 oz feta cheese block, not pre-crumbled
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened, about 1/2 block
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley packed, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh tarragon chopped (optional, but recommended)
  • 1/4 cup baby spinach packed
  • 1-2 tbsp water or milk as needed for consistency
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • Pinch salt to taste, feta is already salty

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Serving Bowl

Method
 

Prepare Ingredients
  1. Crumble the block of feta cheese into smaller pieces. Ensure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier blending.
  2. Wash and roughly chop all fresh herbs (parsley, chives, dill, tarragon) and baby spinach.
Whip the Dip
  1. Add the crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, dill, tarragon), and baby spinach to the bowl of a food processor.
  2. Process on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula once or twice to ensure everything is incorporated.
  3. If the dip appears too thick, add water or milk, one tablespoon at a time, and process again until you reach your desired creamy, spreadable consistency.
  4. Taste the dip and adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt (remember feta is quite salty) and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Add more lemon juice if you prefer a brighter flavor.
Serve
  1. Transfer the Green Goddess Whipped Feta Dip to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs (like chopped chives or dill) for presentation.
  2. Serve immediately with pita bread, pita chips, crackers, or a colorful array of fresh vegetables like cucumber slices, carrot sticks, bell pepper strips, or cherry tomatoes.

Notes

This dip is best served at room temperature or slightly chilled. If making ahead, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving to soften slightly and enhance the flavors. Stir well before serving.
