Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Feta Cheese (40g) Full Fat
  • 2 cups Greek Yogurt (500g) Full Fat
  • 2 Cloves Garlic Finely Grated
  • ¼ cup Fresh Mint Leaves Finely Chopped
  • ¼ cup Fresh Dill Finely Chopped
  • ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil Extra Virgin, For Drizzling

Instructions

  • Place the feta cheese into a mixing bowl and use a fork to mash it.
  • Add Greek yogurt, crushed garlic, fresh chopped mint, fresh chopped dill and sea salt and mix to combine well.
  • Cover and refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
  • Serve topped with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese and fresh chopped dill on top, with pita bread on the side for dipping.

Notes

  1. Feta cheese - must be full fat. Don't choose low fat options for this recipe.
  2. Greek yogurt - the base of this recipe is thick creamy Greek yogurt. You definitely want a full fat, extremely thick and creamy Greek yogurt for the best results.
  3. Olive oil - is drizzled over the top. Extra virgin olive oil is the best tasting option.
  4. Make ahead: You can make haydari ahead of time, as the flavors get even better after chilling for a few hours in the fridge.
  5. Storing: Keep it stored in a covered container in the fridge and consume within 3-4 days. It's not freezer friendly.
