FETA AND SCALLION DIP WITH OLIVE OIL AND LEMON (BOBBY FLAY)
DH and I made this tasty dip from my "Boy Gets Grill" cookbook. We easily halved the recipe to suit four people. I got lots of compliments from the friends I served it to. It is pretty lemony, so if you are not a fan of lemons, this may not be for you. Also, my feta was Bulgarian and it was extremely salty so I did not add any extra salt to the recipe. Also, we cheated and just used store bought pita chips.

Steps:
- Combine the chopped scallions, oil, lemon zest and lemon juice in a food processor and process until smooth. (If you don't have a food processor, you can use an electric mixer or a wooden spoon instead, but the dip will not be as smooth). Add the feta and process until smooth.
- Scrape the mixture into a serving bowl. (The dip can be made up to this point a few hours in advance, covered and kept refrigerated). Bring to cool room temperature before serving).
- When ready to serve, season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with the sliced scallion.
- Heat your grill to high.
- Brush the pitas with a little oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the pitas for 1 minute on each side, until lightly browned. Remove from the grill and cut each pita into 8 wedges for serving. Serve warm with the dip.

Steps:
- 1. Place the feta, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil in a blender and whir until combined but still slightly chunky. It's dense, so you may need to stir it with a fork once or twice. Taste, and if it's too salty add more lemon juice. 2. Spoon into a serving bowl, drizzle with a little oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of pepper flakes and some lemon zest. 3. Serve with crudités, chips, toasts or pita crisps.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the dip, or it will become too thick and lose its light and fluffy texture.
- Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the dip with a variety of dippers, such as pita chips, crackers, vegetables, or fruit.
- Garnish the dip with fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, or mint, for a pop of color and flavor.
- If you like a creamier dip, add a few tablespoons of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
- For a spicier dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- If you don't have lemon juice on hand, you can use white wine vinegar or rice vinegar instead.
Conclusion:
Feta lemon dip is a delicious, refreshing, and versatile dip that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy texture, tangy lemon flavor, and salty feta cheese, this dip is sure to be a hit. Serve it with your favorite dippers and enjoy!
