Feta Cucumber Mint Dip Recipes

CUCUMBER-FETA DIP

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, sour cream, feta cheese, onion, lemon juice and salt. Chill, covered, for 2 to 8 hours.
• Before serving, place shredded cucumber in a fine-mesh sieve. Use the back of a large spoon or a rubber spatula to press on the cucumber to remove excess liquid. Stir cucumber into yogurt mixture.
• Garnish dip with pomegranate seeds and mint, snipped if desired.

FETA-AND-CUCUMBER DIP

Steps:

• Halve cucumbers, and scoop out seeds using a melon baller or small spoon. Grate cucumbers on the large holes of a box grater. Transfer the grated cucumbers to a colander set over a bowl or in the sink. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt, and let the cucumber mixture stand 15 minutes to drain.
• Rinse cucumbers; shake out excess liquid. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel; squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
• Stir together cucumbers, yogurt, feta, chopped mint, cream, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. If desired, transfer dip to a bowl lined with cabbage leaves. Garnish dip with mint sprig; serve with crudites.

HERBED FETA DIP

Steps:

• Blend feta and a splash of water in a food processor. Transfer to a medium bowl and mix in parsley, mint, and chopped dill; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil and top with dill sprigs.
