Best Cucumber Feta Dip Recipes

FETA-AND-CUCUMBER DIP

Steps:

• Halve cucumbers, and scoop out seeds using a melon baller or small spoon. Grate cucumbers on the large holes of a box grater. Transfer the grated cucumbers to a colander set over a bowl or in the sink. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt, and let the cucumber mixture stand 15 minutes to drain.
• Rinse cucumbers; shake out excess liquid. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel; squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
• Stir together cucumbers, yogurt, feta, chopped mint, cream, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. If desired, transfer dip to a bowl lined with cabbage leaves. Garnish dip with mint sprig; serve with crudites.

FETA, CUCUMBER, MINT DIP

Steps:

• 1. Wash parsley while keeping it in a bunch. Chop off the stems just under the last leaves. 2. Wash mint and remove leaves from stems. Throw these two ingredients into a salad spinner and spin thoroughly. 3. Put the parsley, mint, cucumber, garlic and onion into a food processor. Process for 1 minute, scraping down the sides every so often. Check to see if liquid is released into the bottom of the food processor. If it is, drain this away. 4. Add the walnuts and feta (or tofu) to the above mixture and process. 5. Add the juice from half of the lime. Process. 6. Now, with the processor going, slowly pour in the oils, scraping down the sides in between each tbsp. You're looking for the consistency of a fairly thick dip. So, you might decide not to put all the oil in it. 7. Add pepper and more lime to taste. Serve with crispy veggie sticks and whole grain crackers. Voila!
