feta cheese dip

Here is the recipe for the feta cheese dip. And by the way I bought the excellent pita(no pockets)from the middle eastern store in Lenexa. They stay soft when heated up, although the other night John was in charge(his choice)of heating the pita bread and he kept it in the oven to long so it was crispy instead of soft, but still very good, just not bendable. As for hummus I usually buy it already made, but I might explore making it sometime and if I find a good recipe I will let you know, although I find most of my recipes on line now. I just google what I want recipe, ex. feta cheese dip recipe and then I select one that has the easiest prep time and least complicated ingredients. Oh John bought a jug of Kalamata olives with the pits. A four ounce jar is about 4 bucks, but we got 4 pounds and 4 ounces for about $18.00. He is in olive heaven. I think he could live on those. Anyway here is the recipe and we really enjoyed it.

4-6 ounces of feta cheese crumbles, you can use more if you like

1/2 c sour cream
1/2 c plain yogurt
2 green onions chopped up
2-4 cloves of minced garlic. I use lots of garlic
1 tblsp of fresh lemon juice
Throw all into the food processor or blender and mix or whip or whatever until blended.
salt to taste(stir this in after above ingredients are blended)
spread on crackers or warm pita bread or use for a veggie dip.

Enjoy

I get a lot of recipes online too. It is a quick, easy way to find what you are looking for. The recipe you posted sounds good. The commercial hummus offered in stores varies in quality. It would be good to find a great recipe for that. So far, I do not know where to buy soft flatbread in Hays. I guess you won't have to buy olives for awhile. Beth likes olives too but I do not know if she has ever had Kalamata olives.

Mmmm, thanks, Margaret!! Now, I just need to buy a blender or food processor. This sounds delicious!
