Ingredients

Scale
  • 7 oz (200 g) feta cheese, well-drained
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred)
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest, finely grated
  • 1 small garlic clove, very finely minced or grated
  • 1 – 2 tsp honey, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin (optional, for warmth)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate arils (seeds)
  • 1/3 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1 – 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (or parsley)
  • 1 – 2 tsp honey, for drizzling
  • 1 – 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dairy Base: Place the feta cheese in a bowl and crumble it with a fork or break it up into chunks.
  2. Soften and Combine: In a medium mixing bowl, add the crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, and Greek yogurt. Let them sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes.
  3. Flavor the Dip: Add the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, honey, and ground cumin (if using) to the bowl. Season lightly with black pepper.
  4. Blend Until Creamy: Use a sturdy whisk or a fork to mash and whip everything together until the mixture is as smooth as you can get it.
  5. Adjust Consistency: If the dip is too thick, add 1–2 teaspoons of Greek yogurt or a small splash of water or milk, then blend again.
  6. Chill the Dip: Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30–45 minutes.
  7. Prepare the Toppings: Remove the arils from the pomegranate and roughly chop the pistachios and mint.
  8. Assemble Before Serving: Remove the dip from the fridge, swirl the surface, and scatter the toppings generously.
  9. Finish with Drizzles and Seasoning: Lightly drizzle honey and olive oil over the toppings, and season with flaky sea salt.
  10. Serve: Serve immediately with toasted pita, pita chips, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add toppings right before serving to maintain their crunch.
