Method

1. Crumble the feta into the bowl of a food processor.
2. Add the cream cheese, garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
3. Process until very smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, for 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Serve alongside warm pita with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of fresh mint, if desired.

💡 Tips

• For a smoother texture, use a high-speed blender instead of a food processor.
• If you prefer a less tangy dip, reduce the lemon juice to 2 teaspoons.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
