Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 head garlic, unpeeled
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, full-fat preferred
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp raw honey
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice the top quarter off your garlic head, exposing cloves slightly. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30 minutes until cloves turn golden and fragrant—they should squeeze out easily from their papery skins.
  2. While garlic roasts, add feta cheese and Greek yogurt to a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Blend for 2–3 minutes, stopping to scrape bowl sides until completely smooth and fluffy; this creates the signature airy texture.
  3. Once roasted garlic cools slightly, squeeze soft cloves directly into the processor. Add lemon juice, honey, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes—pulse gently 6–8 times to incorporate garlic without overmixing, which deflates the whipped texture.
  4. Transfer this creamy whipped feta roasted garlic dip to a shallow serving bowl. Create a well in the center and drizzle remaining 2 tbsp olive oil around the top in decorative circles for professional presentation.
  5. Scatter fresh dill, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, and toasted pine nuts across the surface in intentional clusters. Finish with a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar and a pinch of red pepper flakes for color contrast and sophisticated depth.
