Ingredients

Between the fresh green parsley, red pepper flakes, lemon zest and drizzle of olive oil, each of the toppings adds its own special layer of flavor, and color and makes this (otherwise super simple) dip look stunning and holiday-worthy.

Feta Cheese – start with a good quality block of Feta Cheese and drain well. Cream Cheese – use half a block of full-fat, cold cream cheese Sour cream– for a richer dip, use regular full-fat sour cream which will also create a thicker dip. You can substitute with whole milk plain Greek yogurt. Extra virgin olive oil – add the oil to the dip to add flavor and richness and also generously drizzle over the top with oil before serving. Using high-quality olive oil will make the dip taste better. Lemon juice – zest the lemon before juicing it. The zest makes a wonderful garnish. Garlic – one clove of garlic adds a nice bite and layer of flavor to the dip. Don’t overdo it. Even for a garlic lover, one clove is plenty. Garnishes: Parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, oil, and black pepper make excellent tasty toppings.

Pro Tip: Use cold feta, cream cheese, and sour cream to create a thicker dip.
