Pro Tips for Success:
- Use room-temperature feta for a smoother dip. Let your feta cheese sit out for 20-30 minutes before blending. This helps it blend more easily for a creamy texture.
- Customize the herbs to your taste. Feel free to swap the dried thyme, oregano, and dill for fresh herbs, or use your favorite seasoning blend if you prefer a different flavor.
- Adjust the dip’s thickness. If your dip is too thick, add a splash of water or more olive oil while blending until you reach your desired consistency!
These tips make the recipe more flexible and easier to adapt based on your preferences.
