Garlicky Feta Dip

Garlicky Feta Dip! This creamy, tangy dip goes great with pita and is easy to whip together as a party appetizer! #Appetizers #spicyappetizers #parties

The story behind it is that I’ve been making this Garlicky Feta Dip for years– I first posted it back in 2014– and because my friends have eaten it so many times, I was asked to bring it along with me to a big birthday party. Take a mental note: If you do make this dip for your friends, you will probably be asked to make it again. Often.

Except this time, I figured I’d try using olive oil instead of Greek yogurt to get the dip to the right consistency. One less ingredient to pick up from the store! I’d read other recipes that used olive oil from some well-respected chefs and foodies, and even though I was hesitant about it, I was sure that “the experts” wouldn’t lead me astray. It’d all be great.
