Dip Ingredients
  • 8 oz block of feta cheese, drained from brine Make sure to drain it well for the best consistency.
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt Grab a good quality yogurt for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (unsweetened) Check your labels for pure pumpkin.
  • 1-2 Tbsp honey (plus more to serve) Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.

  • Black pepper (freshly cracked) Don't skip this—it makes a wonderful difference.
  • Fresh thyme (for garnish) Use it as a garnish for a pop of color.
  • Chopped walnuts (optional; raw or toasted) Toasting them just a bit intensifies their flavor.

Chill

Notes

Feta quality matters for a creamier texture. You can customize the dip by adding spices or changing up the garnishes.
