Feta Cheese and Mint Dip
- 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
- 1/2 whole Small Onion, Diced
- 8 ounces, weight Feta Cheese, Crumbled
- 1 whole Lemon, Juiced And Zested
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Mint, Finely Chopped
- 1/2 teaspoons Dill Weed
- 1/2 teaspoons Cracked Black Pepper
- Fresh Vegetables And Pita Chips, To Serve (optional)
- This recipe is super quick to make, so lets get busy.
- Heat a skillet on medium heat.
- Add in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
- Once heated through, toss in the onions, and cook just until they begin to caramelize.
- Remove from the heat and set to the side.
- To a mixing bowl, add in the cheese, lemon juice and zest, mint, dill weed, and cracked black pepper.
- Using a fork, begin mashing all of the ingredients.
- Slowly add in the remaining olive oil, and half of the cooked onions.
- Stir until you have a lightly creamy texture.
- Scoop the mixture into a serving dish, and garnish with the remaining cooked onions.
- Serve with pita chips and fresh cut vegetables.
- The result is a well balanced dip that has the great punch of feta cheese, while the mint just takes it in a whole other direction.
- Give this one a shot if you are looking for something other than a taco dip to bring to a party, especially if you love feta cheese.
- I wish I made more, as this would probably be great on a grilled burger.
- Hope you enjoy!
