It's magic how a plank of crumbly cheese turns into such a light and creamy whipped feta dip. Perfect with drinks or great as a simple starter, serve with breadsticks, pitta chips or crudités for dipping.

Ingredients

200g/7oz feta
3 tbsp Greek yoghurt
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
2 tsp za’atar
3 tbsp pomegranate seeds
50g/1¾oz toasted and salted or smoked almonds, roughly chopped
freshly ground black pepper

Method

Crumble the feta into a food processor or mini blender and add the yoghurt, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with the black pepper and blend until smooth and creamy.
Spoon into a bowl and swirl in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the dill. Scatter with za’atar, pomegranate seeds and chopped almonds to serve.
