WHIPPED PISTACHIO & FETA DIP
INGREDIENTS:
200g Bulgarian feta (1 container)*
1 Cup roasted pistachios (reserve a few for topping)**
Zest of 2 lemons
2/3 Cup fresh cilantro
1/2 Cup scallions
Olive oil (for topping)
1 Tsp. honey
*I recommend Bulgarian feta for its creamier consistency, adding an extra dimension of richness to the dip.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Serves 6-8 people
Begin by adding the roasted pistachios to a food processor and pulse for about 5-8 seconds, leaving a handful aside for later. This reserved portion will become the delightful crunch that elevates the dip's texture.
Into the food processor, introduce the Bulgarian feta, fresh cilantro, scallions, honey, and half of the lemon zest. Pulse the ingredients until the mixture achieves a smooth yet still pleasantly chunky consistency.
When serving, create a small well in the center of the dip and generously drizzle it with olive oil. This touch adds a luxurious depth to the dip's flavors. Scatter the reserved roasted pistachios over the top, letting them glisten in the olive oil's embrace. Finally, sprinkle the remaining lemon zest for a burst of citrusy aroma.
BON APPETIT!
