Tips and Tricks

Adjust the Thickness - If the dip is thicker than you prefer, blend in a little additional Greek yogurt until it reaches the consistency you want.
Check the Salt Before Serving - Feta cheese can be quite salty, so taste the finished dip before deciding whether it needs any additional seasoning.
Try It Chilled - Refrigerating the dip for an hour or two gives the flavors more time to develop. It's delicious served cold or at room temperature.
Serving Ideas - Pita chips, toasted pita wedges, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, and crackers are all good choices for dipping.

Storing

Refrigerator - Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
Before Serving - Stir the dip if any liquid has separated during storage. Serve chilled, or let it sit at room temperature briefly before serving. Do not leave it unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours.
