Ingredients
  

For the Creamy Base
  • 8 ounces Feta Cheese Feel free to use plant-based feta for a vegan alternative.
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt Can substitute with dairy-free yogurt for a healthier option.
For the Flavor Boost
  • 1 cup Pomegranate Seeds Fresh is recommended for the best taste.
  • 1/2 cup Walnuts Can be replaced with pecans or omitted for a nut-free version.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Recommended for a richer taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Using fresh juice is preferable for maximum zest.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • fork or hand mixer
  • spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering your ingredients: crumble the feta cheese into a mixing bowl and measure out the Greek yogurt. Allow the feta to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften.
  2. In the mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese and Greek yogurt. Using a fork or a hand mixer, blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy, taking around 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in the fresh pomegranate seeds and chopped walnuts into the creamy mixture. This step should take about a minute; retain the crunch and vibrant color.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil into the bowl and squeeze the lemon juice over the mixture. Stir until fully incorporated, taking just about a minute.
  5. Transfer the dip to a serving dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Scatter additional pomegranate seeds and walnuts on top. Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.
