Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 130g feta, crumbled
- 150g thick Greek-style yogurt
- ½ lemon, zested
- ¼ bunch of dill
- ¼ bunch of basil
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 1 tsp za’atar or chilli flakes
For Serving
- 1 bunch of radishes, washed and trimmed
Instructions
- Prepare the whipped feta dip: Place the crumbled feta, thick Greek-style yogurt, lemon zest, fresh dill, basil, and 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into a food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse the ingredients until smooth and creamy, ensuring they are well combined. Transfer the whipped feta mixture to a shallow serving bowl and set aside.
- Toast the coriander seeds: Heat a dry frying pan over low to medium heat. Add the coriander seeds and toast them for a few minutes until they become fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Assemble the dip for serving: Scatter the toasted coriander seeds over the whipped feta dip. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of za’atar or chilli flakes on top for added flavor and a slight spice, based on your preference.
- Drizzle with olive oil and serve: Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the seasoned whipped feta. Serve immediately with the fresh radishes, perfect for dunking into the creamy dip.
Notes
- You can substitute za’atar with chilli flakes depending on your spice preference.
- For extra flavor, allow the dip to chill for 30 minutes before serving.
- Radishes can be replaced with sliced cucumbers or carrots for alternative dipping options.
- Use fresh herbs for the best taste; dried herbs will not achieve the same vibrant flavor.
