This feta and herb dip is inspired by the classic Greek dish, tzatziki. Tzatziki is a yogurt-based dip that is typically made with cucumbers, garlic, and dill. I wanted to create a variation on tzatziki that was a little bit more flavorful and herbaceous. I added feta cheese to the dip for richness and creaminess, and I used a variety of fresh herbs, including parsley, mint, and dill, for a bright and complex flavor. The result is a dip that is creamy, tangy, and herbaceous, and it's the perfect appetizer for any occasion.
