Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 2 cups crumbled feta
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried red chili flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts, (toasted)
  • fresh parsley, (finely chopped, for garnish (optional))

Instruction

  • Add the pine nuts to a dry skillet over medium heat. Keep moving the pine nuts around to prevent them from burning. Once the pine nuts begin to smell smoky and nutty, and turn a golden brown colour, remove them from the heat and transfer to a shallow, wide bowl to stop the cooking and to cool the pine nuts completely. Set aside.
  • Add all ingredients (in the order listed) to a blender. Do not add the pine nuts!
  • Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Remove from blender to a bowl. Set aside a tablespoon of the pine nuts, but stir the rest into the whipped feta.
  • Garnish with parsley, the remaining pine nuts, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
  • Serve immediately or chill for one hour.
