A refreshing Aegean-style meze of white cheese, walnuts, olive oil, and dill. This popular bread dip for gatherings brings together the saltiness of the cheese and the texture of walnuts.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mash the cheese

3 min

Put the white cheese in a bowl and mash it with a fork. Make it as chunky or smooth as you like.

2

Add the remaining ingredients

4 min

Add the walnuts, olive oil, dill, thyme, lemon juice, and optional garlic, then mix well.

3

Serve

2 min

Spread the dip on a serving plate, drizzle with a little olive oil, and serve with bread. Caution: Do not add extra salt if the cheese is salty.

Reminder

Important: If the cheese is very salty, do not add extra salt; taste as you go. Mash the dip with a fork for a chunky texture, or use a food processor for a smooth one, as you prefer. Contains milk (white cheese) and walnuts (a tree nut). Check packaged ingredients for other allergens.
