Ingredients
- Goat Cheese Yogurt:
- ¾ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Toppings:
- 1 tablespoon calabrian chile paste
- ⅓ cup roughly chopped olives (I like Castelvetrano)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Toasted slivered almonds
Instructions
- Make the whipped goat cheese yogurt: add yogurt, goat cheese, lemon juice, and garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth and well combined, scraping down the sides as necessary. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste and process once more. Add to a shallow bowl that’s great for dipping.
- Top the dip with calabrian chile paste and gently use a spoon to swirl it into the top. Evenly sprinkle with olives, parsley, dill, then drizzle with honey and finish with toasted almonds. Serve with pita chips or crackers and enjoy.
Notes
To make nut-free: simply omit the toasted slivered almonds.
