Ingredients

The Whipped Feta Dip

• ▢ 6 oz Feta cheese preferably in block form, not pre-crumbled
• ▢ 1/3 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• ▢ 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• ▢ 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• ▢ 1/4 cup Fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
• ▢ 1 tsp Black sesame seeds
• ▢ Sea salt
• ▢ Pepper

Balsamic Strawberries

• ▢ 1 cup Fresh strawberries with their ends removed
• ▢ 2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
• ▢ 1 tbsp Honey hot or regular honey

The rest:

• ▢ Fresh mint for topping
• ▢ More black sesame seeds for topping
• ▢ Toasted sourdough

Instructions 

• For the Feta: In a food processor, combine the feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, basil and black sesame seeds.
• Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the dip is too thick, add a splash more olive oil or a tiny bit of water to loosen. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add strawberries to a skillet and add balsamic and honey. Cook for about 2-3 minutes just until its bubbling and strawberries have softened slightly. You don't want them too mushy.
• Add feta dip to a bowl and spread in an even layer. Top with strawberries and garnish with fresh mint and more black sesame seeds. Serve with pieces of toasted sourdough bread. Enjoy!
