Whipped Feta with Marinated Olives

Two words: elevated. appetizer. This Whipped Feta with Marinated Olives recipe is easy to make, yet stunning and impressive, with over-the-top flavors from fresh herbs, lemon, and tangy feta cheese.

📝 Ingredients

• 8 oz. block of feta
• 5.3 oz Greek yogurt (1 container)
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• Optional: 1 TBSP whole milk
• 1 cup marinated olives
• Optional: red pepper flakes for garnish

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a food processor, add the block of feta (broken up into pieces so it will fit), greek yogurt, garlic, and lemon zest.
2. 2Puree until smooth, scraping the sides as needed. If you'd like it thinner, add in the milk and puree again to combine.
3. 3Optional: use a fine mesh strainer to remove any small pieces of feta that remain.
4. 4Spread the feta in a serving bowl and top with marinated olives as desired. I like to put a good amount in the center, serve it up, and add more as they disappear. Garnish with additional red pepper flakes as desired, too. Serve with homemade pita chips or baguette slices.
