Feta cheese Yogurt Dip {Easy Recipe}
Here’s an appetizer recipe idea to celebrate back to school and since it’s still pretty warm, this Feta cheese Yogurt Dip recipe will be perfect on a nice weekend appetizer platter. Even though it’s more of a Greek dish, I like to serve it with an assortment of mezzes, Lebanese or Greek.
This is really the kind of recipe I’ve been making for a long time and it always makes a big splash. It’s actually very simple, you don’t need many ingredients and it’s very quick. All you have to do is mix some feta cheese with yogurt and add some seasonings. I’ll explain it all below.
You can then eat it with vegetable sticks, breadsticks, pita chips or chickpea patties. But you can also accompany a dish or a salad.
