Method
How to Make Mediterranean Feta Dipping Oil
In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, dried thyme, garlic powder (or minced garlic), salt, and pepper. For a touch of heat, feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
For a smooth consistency, use a food processor or blender to blend everything until well incorporated. If you enjoy a chunkier texture, mix gently with a fork until combined.
Pour the creamy dipping oil into a small serving bowl, making it easy to share with friends and family.
Sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for an added burst of color and flavor that elevates your dip’s presentation.
Serve alongside fresh bread, pita chips, or crunchy raw vegetables for the perfect dipping experience.
Let the oil sit for at least 10 minutes after mixing to allow the herbs to infuse into the oil. Optionally, drizzle with a little more olive oil before serving for an extra touch of richness.
