Ingredients

2 ripe medium avocados, fleshed and diced
4 ounces feta, block (cut into cubes for best taste and texture)
3 medium Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/3 cup diced red onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped parsley or cilantro
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Check your avocados to ensure they are ripe but not overly soft, so they maintain good texture in the dip.
Step 2: Cut the 4-ounce block of feta into small cubes for the best flavor and texture.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine diced avocado, feta cubes, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley or cilantro.
Step 4: Drizzle the olive oil and vinegar over the ingredients. Sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
Step 5: Gently fold all the ingredients together using a large spoon, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Step 6: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and enjoy with crackers, chips, flatbread, or on its own.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh block feta for a richer texture compared to pre-crumbled varieties.
Try substituting cilantro for parsley to give the dip a different herbal note.
Serve chilled for a refreshing taste or at room temperature for enhanced flavors.
Press plastic wrap gently against the surface when storing to minimize avocado browning.

Storage

Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator. To help prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dip before placing the lid on. The dip should keep well for about 3 days. When ready to eat, stir gently and serve chilled or at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I use pre-crumbled feta instead of block feta?

While you can use pre-crumbled feta, using a block and cutting it into cubes provides a creamier texture and better flavor balance in the dip.

How can I prevent the avocado from browning quickly?

Pressing plastic wrap directly on the surface of the dip before sealing the container helps reduce exposure to air and slows browning. Also, storing the dip in the fridge will help maintain freshness for up to three days.
