Notes
Ingredient notes & substitutions
- Garlic can be skipped
- Fresh basil can be skipped or switched for dried basil
- I always use Greek or Turkish yogurt, but any neutral cooking type yogurt is fine
- Yogurt can be switched for crème fraîche, cream cheese or sour cream
- Instead of a food processor you can use an immersion blender, regular blender, mixer, or just a fork to mash up the Feta cheese
- Adjust the consistency by adding more or less yogurt
- Mix it smooth or keep it chunky - both ways are delicious
- Adjust the flavors to match what you're serving it with - for example, adding some lemon juice is great when serving it with fish or seafood. See more suggested tweaks in the post!
