Instructions:
- Crumble the feta cheese if it comes in a block.
- Juice the lemon to get 1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice.
- Chop the fresh dill and spearmint leaves finely.
- Finely chop 1/2 of a medium red onion.
- In a mixing bowl, add the crumbled feta cheese.
- Pour in the lemon juice and olive oil.
- Add the chopped dill, spearmint, and red onion.
- Use a fork or a spoon to mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.
- While mixing, gently mash the feta cheese to combine it well with the lemon juice, olive oil, herbs, and onion. You can make the dip as smooth or as chunky as you prefer.
- Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed. Depending on your preference, you might want to add a pinch of salt or a bit more lemon juice.
- For best results, cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together perfectly.
- Serve the feta and mint dip chilled with pita bread, crackers, vegetable sticks, or as a spread on sandwiches.
Tips:
- Use good quality feta cheese for the best flavor.
- Make sure the lemon juice is freshly squeezed for optimal taste.
- Chill the dip for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- If you don't have fresh dill or spearmint, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half as dried herbs are more concentrated.
- For a smoother dip, blend the ingredients in a food processor or blender.
