Tips:

  • For a tangier dip, use Greek yogurt instead of buttermilk. Buttermilk imparts a mild tart flavor, while yogurt is a little sharper, but either one works well here.
  • If you don't have feta cheese, you can use goat cheese, cream cheese, or even cottage cheese. For a vegan option, use tofu or cashews. Crumble or finely chop it before mixing it into the dip.
  • If you don't have any fresh dill, you can use dried dill weed. Just remember that dried herbs are more concentrated than fresh herbs, so add less to taste.
  • Buttermilk is a great ingredient to use in dips because it adds a tangy flavor and helps to thicken the dip. If you don't have any buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • This dip is also great as a sauce for grilled chicken or fish. It's also a delicious addition to a veggie platter or sandwich.

Conclusion:

Feta and buttermilk dip is a delicious and versatile dip that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Serve it with pita chips, vegetables, or crackers. You can also use it as a sauce for grilled chicken, fish, or even as a sandwich spread.
