Method
How to Make Avocado Feta Dip
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the parsley finely and mince the garlic, so everything is ready for mixing. Prepping these first will keep your process smooth and quick.
- In a medium bowl, mash the ripe avocados with a fork. Aim for a smooth yet slightly chunky texture; it adds character to your dip! This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the mashed avocados. Each ingredient brings a lovely flavor.
- Stir all the ingredients together until well combined. You want a cohesive dip, so take your time to ensure each flavor is evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. For a beautiful finish, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle some extra parsley for garnish.
- Serve with pita chips, fresh veggies, or use it as a flavorful spread on sandwiches and wraps.
