Pistachio Whipped Feta

Jun 09 2022

We discovered this dip while stopping at Shuka during an afternoon walk around the West Village, paired with warm pita bread it’s the perfect afternoon snack. It’s a light, bright summer treat that comes together in a matter of minutes. You can enjoy with chips, veggies or even use it as a spread on sandwiches.

Ingredients:

1 cup pistachios
½ cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 garlic cloves
1½ cups cilantro leaves and tender stems, plus more for garnish
¼ cup dill fronds, plus more for garnish
3 cups (1 pound) feta cheese (My favorite feta is at Traders Joe’s and its in the brine (the blue rectangle box))
½ cup yogurt (I use non fat greek to keep it semi-skinny)

Directions:

In a food processor, combine pistachios garlic and olive oil until you have the consistency of a paste.
Next add in the feta, yogurt and fresh herbs. Blend until creamy.
Top with olive oil, crushed pistachios and left over dill fronds and serve.
