Ingredients
12 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon for roasting
1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until evenly coated.
Spread the tomatoes cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until they are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
While the tomatoes roast, combine the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper in a food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
Transfer the whipped feta dip to a serving bowl.
Arrange the roasted tomatoes on top of the whipped feta dip or serve on the side for dipping.
Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
