Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred)
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon

- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Whole grain pita chips, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine feta cheese, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Use a handheld mixer (or food processor) to whip the mixture on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy.
- Add kosher salt, chopped dill, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a shallow serving dish and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
- Top with chopped cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, extra dill, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes
- For the best flavor and texture, use block feta cheese in brine instead of pre-crumbled feta.
- Let the dip chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes for a firmer texture.
- This dip can be made ahead of time (up to 2 days) and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
