Ingredients

  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1 avocado coarsely chopped
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Coarsely chop the avocado. Zest and juice the lemon.
  • Place all the ingredients in the food processor, reserving a few crumbles of feta cheese to use as a garnishment for the finished dip.
  • Process until all the ingredients are well blended and the dip is creamy and smooth.
  • Spread the dip evenly in a bowl or on a serving plate.
  • Before serving, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle crushed red pepper and reserved feta cheese over the top.
  • Serve with pita chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.

Notes

This dip is the lightest and creamiest the day that it is made. It will stay good in the fridge for several days when stored in an airtight container. Before serving, stir well and drizzle with olive oil and crushed red pepper.
