Cooking Notes

Ellen N.

This recipe looks good, but it would be so much easier to make if it included weights (preferably grams, not ounces). It's such a pain to pack chopped herbs in a small measuring cup then scrape them out in to a bowl when you could just tare the scale and add them to the bowl.

john

why not just eye-ball these herb quantities?.....You really do not need to have such precise measurements for this kind of recipe.

Rosemary

I suggest halving the amount of olive oil. It just kept separating from the dip and sitting on the top. Otherwise it is wonderful

Mark

You can cut the garlic pungency by pureeing just the garlic and lemon juice together to start. The acidity of the lemon inhibits the alliinase in the garlic and mellows everything out while leaving the good garlic flavor.

Marjorie Och

Rather than serve this immediately, I recommend chilling it well. It's delicious and perfect for a hot summer evening. I added some fresh tarragon because it's in my garden. The herbs can be varied depending on what's available but those listed here are excellent!

Ellen

Definitely cut the olive oil to 1/4 cup but otherwise an excellent recipe. Used it for Thanksgiving appetizer with crudites and everyone loved it.

Karen

I made it exactly as stated (with the full amount of evoo and mayo) and felt the 2 cloves of garlic made it too sharp. I would cut back to 1 garlic clove. It got rave reviews (except for the garlic) and I'm definitely putting it in my rotation. Be sure to let it chill first.

Melissa

We really enjoyed this dip with the mayo included. To temper the bite of the garlic, just mince it and let it sit in the lemon juice for about 10 minutes before adding it to step 1. Serve chilled with Trader Joe's Reduced Guilt Pita Chips with Sea Salt and crudités.

Arcie

I disagree. The olive oil is needed to keep the herbs moist, creamy and in unison with the overall flavor. You just need to give it a stir when it rises to the top.

Johanna

Substituted Taragon for the Dill and Goat Cheese for the Feta. Did not use mayonaise. Made a double batch for a party of 20. Everyone fell in love with this dip but as there were many other apps, ended up with a full batch leftover. Two days later for a party of 6 I used the leftover full batch of greek goddess dip like a pesto over penne with chicken, sun gold and green zebra tomatoes, red peppers, and onions, all roasted on the grill. Tasted just as spectacular in this pasta. Will make again.

Karen

If you are dairy intolerant, sub soft tofu for the cheese and yogurt and add the traditional anchovy or tsp of fish sauce. The anchovy replaces the tang of the fermented dairy items.

Melissa

We love this dip! Dairy doesn't work for me, so I substituted an avocado for the yogurt and four anchovies for the feta.

Passion for Peaches

Perfect essentially as dictated. I did not get any oil separation, but then I used more herbs than called for (not double, but perhaps 1/3 more). Added chives to the mix. Used the mayo. We ate it with crisp, raw veggies that had been soaked in cold water for an hour. It was delicious. If you want to tamp down the garlic, I suggest cooking the cloves slightly rather than cutting the amount back. The garlic is a pivitol part of the flavor balance.

Rachel

I put all the herbs whole in my food processor and didn't chop any to save on prep time, and just ran my food processor longer. This worked great!! Once you add the feta, you can also start to see if you need a little more EVOO. I made ahead, and the flavors got even better overnight, and the dip thickened too, which is helpful. Definitely recommend making this!

Ohio Amateur Cook

I am not a huge fan of mint, so used cilantro instead and it was wonderful (along with basil, parsley, and dill). And I agree about eyeballing the measurements. I did not put any of my ingredients in a measuring cup and tasted along the way; it turned out great!

Bomb Mom

I think it's the feta that makes it a bit too sharp, not the garlic. Next time I will reduce the feta by 1/3. But still a delicious 5-star addition to my repertoire that everyone loved!

CaliRalf

2nd time I made it and it was perfect. Didn’t have yogurt or sour cream but had a high quality yogurt ranch and cottage cheese. Subbed the ranch and cottage cheese for the yogurt and it was amazing.

Peggy H.

Good, not great. Even following these proportions, the basil was overwhelming. Tasted like pesto, but more expensive bc required purchasing way more herbs. But a good way to use up extra fresh herbs.

Drew Boyd

Delicious. This is really adaptable. I also added 2 tsp of Dijon and a little honey. Anchovies would probably make it even better.

Alex

Excellent flavor, stores well.

Jennifer

Simply delicious. As suggested by other cooks, I combined the garlic and lemon juice first to mellow the garlic. I will make this again!

Jennie

Since I'm having a big party I tripled this recipe (eyeballing the herb amounts. I did use 2 c crumbled feta and a 1-lb container of Fage whole-milk plain yogurt (and I eyeballed the oil--using significantly less than 1.5 cups!). Perhaps because I used less oil, I found I needed more yogurt to give enough creaminess. It's very delicious and quite substantial/filling.

happycook

You absolutely can use whatever amount of whatever herbs you have on hand. I made it with loads of basil and mint all summer. Now I’m using dill and parsley because it’s what’s in season. I’ve also used labneh in this recipe in place of Greek yogurt and it gives it a fabulous tang. This recipe is so lovely and malleable. I omit mayo, I genuinely don’t think it adds anything.

jenny

Avocado instead of mayo in this dip is ace.

CL

I added twice the amount of lemon juice listed in the recipe and it was very watery. However … after one night in the fridge it got to the right consistency and it was a success!

Ro

Felt like a lot of effort and variety of ingredients for a dip.

Sacha

Delicious! This was zesty, herby, easy to make (in my vitamix). Served with crudités. Nom.

stephi

Personally - the effort (incl. financial one) is not worth the outcome. I have a go to simpler one that is cheaper to make and does taste better. It’s almost like all the herbs overpower each other.

Mark

I am shocked at how many people rate this dish 5 stars; it is inedible. Bitter and just flat out gross, and that was the consensus of my wife and three daughters and all of their husbands. Simply awful.

ScrarchCook

I’ve made this before, great recipe.I put the Feta Cheese in regular milk for storage, enough to cover it. This will lessen the salty taste, not eliminate it. If very salty, I replace the milk once.
