Description

Fluffy, creamy whipped feta dip with fresh herbs, pistachios, and cayenne date nectar.


Ingredients

Scale

DIP:

  • 1 8-oz. block feta cheese, room temperature*
  • 1⁄4 cup whipped cream cheese
  • 2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice (1 wedge)

TO SERVE:

  • 2 Tbs. D’vash Organics Cayenne Date Nectar
  • 1 handful raw pistachios, chopped
  • 1 handful fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 handful fresh dill, chopped
  • Pita wedges, crackers, and/or veggies for dipping

Instructions

  1. 60 minutes before preparing, leave the feta out on the counter to come to room temperature. *OPTIONAL: Soak the feta in fresh water during this time and drain before using. This will help cut the saltiness.
  2. In a food processor or strong blender, combine the feta, cream cheese, and lemon juice. Pulse until creamy. Gradually add the olive oil while pulsing.
  3. When the consistency is even and light, transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the D’vash Cayenne Date Nectar, top with pistachios and herbs, and serve.

If you don’t want to use cream cheese, you may substitute Greek yogurt/another thick yogurt at room temperature. The final result will have a thicker consistency.
