Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 5 ounces feta cheese

- 1 large avocado, peeled and pitted
- 1 lemon, juiced (about 2-3 tablespoons)
- 1/2 cup packed fresh dill
- 1/2 cup packed fresh mint

- 1/2 cup packed fresh chives (or green onions)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions
- Blend. Combine the feta cheese, peeled garlic cloves, avocado, freshly squeezed lemon juice, fresh dill, mint, basil, chives, and Dijon mustard in a food processor. Pulse briefly to mix the ingredients together. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup of olive oil until the mixture is fully combined and emulsified, resulting in a smooth and creamy dip. Add 1/4 cup of water (or more if needed) to achieve your desired consistency.
- Season. Taste the dip and season it with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to your preference. Adjust seasoning gradually to balance the flavors perfectly.
- Serve. Serve the Green Goddess Feta Dip immediately with your favorite dippers such as fresh vegetables, crackers, or pita bread. Alternatively, transfer the dip to a sealed container and refrigerate it for up to 3 days, allowing flavors to meld.
