ingredients

1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons plain yogurt (Greek is best, but regular will work)
2 tablespoons feta cheese
¹⁄₂ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 1 tablespoon white vinegar (can be substituted, or even mixed) or 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (can be substituted, or even mixed)
¹⁄₄ teaspoon garlic powder (more or less to taste)
¹⁄₈ teaspoon dill
¹⁄₈ teaspoon basil
¹⁄₈ teaspoon curry powder (optional)
1 dash crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 dash rosemary (optional)

directions

1. Add yogurt first, then beat the feta cheese into the yogurt until the mixture resembles cottage cheese.
2. Pour in olive oil and lemon juice and/or vinegar. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
3. Sprinkle in garlic powder, dill, basil, and other desired spices.
4. Mix until the resulting dip is slightly smoother than cottage cheese, but not quite as smooth as ranch dressing.
5. Serve with pita, crackers and/or vegetables of your choice (broccoli and bell peppers tend to taste best with this dip, along with egg plant slices). Feel free to serve immediately, or let chill for a few hours to let the flavors "soak".
