Ingredients

  • 3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 12 ounces full fat cow’s milk feta cheese (a block of feta works better than crumbled feta)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh mint (see note)
  • ¼ cup minced fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a food processor, combine cream cheese, feta cheese, water, garlic powder, and black pepper. Combine until completely smooth, at least 2 to 3 minutes. If dip seems too thick, add an extra drizzle of water or olive oil.

Notes

  • Herbs: Adjust the herbs to your liking. If you don’t like chives or mint, feel free to leave them out or try substituting a different herb, such as fresh dill, tarragon, savory, etc. I often increase the amount of parsley because I love the fresh flavor. I wouldn't go too crazy with the fresh mint because the flavor can be a little overpowering. 
  • Alternative method: You can also add the herbs to the food processor with the other ingredients, and blend them in to make a pretty green dip with amazing flavor. 
  • Richer dip: Use regular cream cheese (not reduced fat), and substitute extra virgin olive oil for the water.
