Ingredients:

  • 8 oz (225g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt, full fat
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small clove (3g) garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp (60ml) honey
  • 2 tbsp (15g) roasted pistachios, crushed
  • 2 tbsp (30g) pomegranate seeds
  • 1 tsp (2g) fresh thyme leaves

Instructions:

  1. Combine the crumbled feta and minced garlic in the food processor. Pulse 5-10 times until the cheese is broken down into small, uniform crumbs. Note: Don't over process yet; we just want it broken up.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and lemon juice. Process on high for 1–2 minutes until the mixture looks smooth and unified.
  3. While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Continue blending for another 30 seconds until the mixture looks glossy and holds a soft peak.
  4. Taste the base. If it's too salty, add another tablespoon of yogurt.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl.
  6. Use the back of a spoon to create a circular swirl in the center. Note: Make the groove deep enough to hold the honey.
  7. Pour the honey into the swirl until it fills the groove and pools slightly.
  8. Scatter the crushed pistachios, pomegranate seeds, and thyme leaves over the top.
  9. Serve immediately with warm pita or sliced cucumbers.
