FETA, OLIVE AND TOMATO DIP

Feta, Olive and Tomato Dip image

Use a feta that is not too salty, there can be quite a difference in flavor when you buy feta cheese. You can substitute the fresh tomatoes for sun-dried if you like a more pungent flavor, but use less and taste it before you add more. Add several tablespoons of milk to turn the dip into a dressing. Also very good to spread on a sandwich and top it with tomato and cucumber slices.

FETA AND SCALLION DIP WITH OLIVE OIL AND LEMON (BOBBY FLAY)

Feta and Scallion Dip With Olive Oil and Lemon (Bobby Flay) image

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.

Time 12m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

12 scallions, dark green and pale green parts only, chopped
1 scallion, thinly sliced for garnish
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing the pitas
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 lb feta, crumbled
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
6 pocketless pita breads

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.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your dip.
Don't over-process the dip. You want it to be chunky, not smooth.
Let the dip sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the dip with a variety of dippers. Pita chips, crackers, and vegetables are all good options.

Conclusion:

Feta olive dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with just a few simple ingredients and can be ready in just minutes. Whether you are serving it at a party or enjoying it as a snack, feta olive dip is sure to be a hit.
