A vibrant and creamy dip combining feta cheese, fresh pomegranate arils, and crunchy pistachios, perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 7 oz (200 g) feta cheese, well-drained
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred)
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest, finely grated
  • 1 small garlic clove, very finely minced or grated
  • 1 – 2 tsp honey, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin (optional, for warmth)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate arils (seeds)
  • 1/3 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1 – 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (or parsley)
  • 1 – 2 tsp honey, for drizzling
  • 1 – 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dairy Base: Start by placing the feta cheese in a bowl. Crumble it with a fork or break it into chunks.
  2. Soften and Combine: In a medium mixing bowl (or better yet, a food processor), get the crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, and Greek yogurt together.
  3. Flavor the Dip: Pour in the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, honey, and optional ground cumin.
  4. Blend Until Creamy: Mash everything together until it reaches a smooth consistency, with only tiny bits of feta remaining.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Add more honey for sweetness or lemon juice for brightness.
  6. Adjust Consistency: If your dip is too thick, mix in 1–2 teaspoons of Greek yogurt or a splash of water/milk.
  7. Chill the Dip: Transfer your dip to a serving bowl and chill in the fridge for at least 30–45 minutes.
  8. Prepare the Toppings: Carefully remove the arils from the pomegranate and chop the pistachios into small pieces.
  9. Assemble Before Serving: Take the dip out of the fridge and generously scatter the toppings over the surface.
  10. Finish with Drizzles and Seasoning: Drizzle honey and olive oil over the toppings and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
  11. Serve immediately with warm toasted pita or fresh veggies for dipping.

Notes

This dip is best made in advance to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with toasted pita or fresh veggies.
