Ingredients

For the veggies:

1 cup cherry tomatoes - diced
1/2 cup cucumbers - diced
1/4 cup red onion - sliced
1 clove garlic - finely grated
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper - to taste

For the cheese:

8 oz. feta cheese - crumbles or block
8 oz. cream cheese light - softened
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1-2 Tablespoons lemon juice - freshly squeezed

To serve:

sliced black olives - optional
drizzle of balsamic glaze - optional
toasted bread, crackers, and/or fresh veggies

Instructions

Make marinade. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, grated garlic, and seasonings (Italian Seasoning, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper).
2 Tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Prep veggies. Chop veggies (tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions) and add to a mixing bowl. Pour marinade over veggies and toss to combine. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes at room temperature.
1 cup cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup cucumbers, 1/4 cup red onion
Whip feta cheese mixture. To a food processor, add the feta cheese, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and freshly ground black pepper. Pulse until creamy, about one minute.
8 oz. feta cheese, 8 oz. cream cheese light, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 Tablespoons olive oil, 1-2 Tablespoons lemon juice
Add dip to bowl. Use a spatula to add whipped feta dip to a serving bowl. Use a spoon to push some of the cheese around the edges of the bowl, leaving a well in the center for the veggies.
Assemble dip (when ready to serve). Pour the marinated veggies into the middle of the bowl over the dip. Add some sliced black olives and balsamic glaze over the dip to finish (optional).

Notes

Store leftover dip in an airtight container for several days.
I recommend using fresh garlic in this recipe.
I always have leftover crusty bread in my freezer. I recommend my Chewy French Bread, Whole Wheat Honey Bread, or Sourdough Focaccia.
You can add this dip to Greek bowls or wraps, over burgers, or chicken breasts.
I recommend pairing this dip with a cheese platter or part of a mezze platter.
