Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Greek
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 200g feta cheese
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 200g of feta cheese, 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of paprika, 1 clove of garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese using a fork until it is broken down into small pieces. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Add the 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt to the crumbled feta cheese. The yogurt will provide creaminess and a tangy flavor to the dip.
- Incorporate the minced garlic into the bowl. Make sure it is evenly distributed to ensure every bite has that delicious garlic flavor.
- Sprinkle in the 1 tablespoon of paprika. This will add a lovely color and a mild spiciness to the dip.
- Drizzle in the 1 tablespoon of olive oil, which will enhance the richness of the dip.
- Using a fork or a hand mixer, blend all the ingredients together until you reach a smooth and creamy consistency. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can mix it less thoroughly.
- Once blended, taste the dip and add salt and pepper to your liking. Remember that feta cheese can be quite salty, so adjust accordingly.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and drizzle a little extra olive oil on top for garnish, if desired. You can also sprinkle a pinch of paprika for added color.
- Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks. Enjoy your Ktipti Paprika Feta Dipsaus!
