Ingredients

Scale

Whipped Feta:

  • 1 (6-oz.) package feta cheese in brine, drained and crumbled (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cold water

For Serving:

  • 1/3 cup pomegranate seeds (arils)
  • 1/4 cup lightly salted pistachios, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon hot honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 (6 1/2-inch) whole-wheat pita rounds, warmed and cut into 16 wedges

Instructions

  1. Whipped Feta: Add feta, cream cheese, garlic, and olive oil to a food processor; process until mostly smooth, about 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. With the processor running, slowly drizzle cold water through the chute until a smooth whipped dip forms, 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. For Serving: Transfer the whipped feta to a serving bowl; top with pomegranate seeds and pistachios; drizzle with honey. Sprinkle with thyme leaves. Serve with warm pita wedges.

Notes

  • This whipped feta dip can be made ahead and refrigerated, but bring it to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of honey based on your preference for sweetness.
  • Experiment with different nuts or seeds for added crunch and variety.
