Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
1 cup roasted pistachios (preferably unsalted)
¼ cup regular olive oil (extra virgin can get too bitter)
1 package Feta Cheese or 1 cup (broken into chunks)
1 handful fresh dill (1/2 cup loose packed leaves)
2 handfuls fresh cilantro (1 cup loose packed leaves)
1-2 garlic cloves, minced (depending on size and your taste)
1 fresh jalapeno pepper (optional)
3-4 Tablespoons Greek Yogurt
Lemon zest and lemon juice of 1 lemon
Sea Salt to taste (skip if using salted pistachios)
Instructions
Coarsely chop the dill and cilantro and jalapeno.
Blend the pistachios with olive oil in a food processor until course.
Add the remaining ingredients by using the pulse feature about 1 minute. Don’t let it get too smooth, try to keep a rustic texture. Adjust consistency by adding either more pistachios or yogurt.
Notes
I made mine with salted pistachios and it didn't taste too salty which was surprising considering how salty Feta can be.
