Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by crumbling the feta cheese into a mixing bowl using a fork. If the feta is particularly salty, give it a quick rinse under cool water, patting it dry afterward.
- In a medium bowl or food processor, combine the crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, and Greek yogurt. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes.
- Add the extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, honey, and ground cumin (if desired). Season lightly with black pepper and salt. Stir well to combine.
- Using a whisk, mash the mixture by hand until smooth while leaving small bits of feta for texture or use a food processor.
- If your dip appears too thick, add 1–2 teaspoons of Greek yogurt or a splash of water or milk to loosen it.
- Transfer your mixed dip to a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30–45 minutes.
- Remove the pomegranate arils and pat them dry. Roughly chop the pistachios and mint or parsley.
- Take the dip out of the fridge about 10–15 minutes before serving. Swirl the top with a spoon and scatter the pomegranate arils and chopped pistachios.
- Drizzle honey and extra-virgin olive oil over the dip. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Garnish your dip with toasted pita bread, pita chips, crostini, or fresh veggie sticks for dipping.
