Ingredients
- 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons honey, divided
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¾ cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons mint, chopped
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetables, crackers and/or fresh bread (for serving)
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the feta, yogurt, pumpkin, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon honey and cayenne. Pulse mixture a few times to break down the feta, then blend until smooth and creamy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Scoop mixture into a serving dish and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon. Set aside.
- In a small pan over medium-high heat, toast walnuts until light golden and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then chop and scatter over the whipped feta.
- Top whipped feta with parsley, mint, lemon zest and black pepper. Drizzle the remaining oil and honey over the top. Serve with vegetables, crackers and/or bread.
