Ingredients

• 8 ounces quality feta, drained
• ¾ cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh mint
• 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
• 2-3 tablespoons of toasted pine nuts
• 1-2 tablespoons crushed pistachios
• Lemon zest

Instructions

1. Blend the feta, Greek yogurt, and lemon zest in a blender or food processor. While the processor is running, drizzle olive oil through the top opening until the feta is whipped to a smooth mixture.
2. Transfer the whipped feta to a serving plate. With the back of your spoon, smooth the top of the feta, making an indentation in the center. Pour some olive oil all over the feta, then top with the red pepper flakes, fresh herbs, and nuts.
3. Serve with pita chips or pita wedges, on a salad, or on toast—however you’d like!
