This pleasing dip gets its Greek-style flavor from the feta cheese and lemon peel. “Serve it with chips or raw vegetables when friends stop by, or try a spoonful on top of a baked potato.”—Emily R. Chaney, Blue Hill, Maine

Tip

The History of Feta

FETA is a white, salty, semi-firm cheese. Traditionally it was made from sheep or goat's milk but is now also made with cow's milk. After feta is formed in a special mold, it's sliced into large pieces, salted and soaked in brine. Although feta cheese is mostly associated with Greek cooking, "feta" comes from the Italian word "fette", meaning slice of food.

Wish I'd checked this site before making.

Very bland and runny. I added a little sour cream and hope by sitting in fridge for awhile it will thicken up or in the trash it goes. Sorry. Maybe something is missing in the ingredients???

The taste was ok but it was very runny. I checked the amount of the ingredients to make sure I hadn't made of mistake, and I hadn't.

This wasn't great. We made this and found it very bland when made following recipe exactly. We added salt and garlic and it still just didn't taste very good. I probably won't make it again. Thank you anyway. We love so much on this site that we are surprised to find something we don't like.
