Ingredients

• 24 ounces cherry tomatoes (quartered)
• 6 ounces feta cheese (crumbled)
• 4 green onions (sliced)
• 1 tablespoon Greek seasoning
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Step 1: Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters or smaller pieces. Crumble the feta cheese and finely slice the green onions.
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, most of the crumbled feta (reserving about 1 tablespoon for garnish), sliced green onions, Greek seasoning, and olive oil. Stir gently to combine all ingredients well.
3. Step 3: Sprinkle the remaining crumbled feta on top as a garnish. Serve the dip immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving.
4. Step 4: Enjoy with pita chips, fresh vegetables, or slices of baguette. It also works well spooned over grilled chicken, fish, or pork for a fresh, flavorful main dish addition.

Tips & Variations

• For extra freshness, add a handful of chopped fresh parsley or basil before serving.
• Try using flavored olive oil, like lemon or garlic, to elevate the dip’s taste.
• If you prefer a smoother dip, pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor before garnishing.
• Replace cherry tomatoes with grape tomatoes if preferred, as both work well in this recipe.

Storage

Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Before serving chilled dip, stir gently and let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes to bring out the flavors. This dip is best enjoyed fresh and does not freeze well.

FAQs

Can I use regular tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes?

Yes, but cherry tomatoes are recommended for their sweetness and texture. If using regular tomatoes, choose ripe, firm ones and dice them finely to maintain the right consistency.

Is this dip suitable for vegans?

This recipe contains feta cheese, so it is not vegan. To make a vegan version, substitute feta with a plant-based cheese alternative or crumbled firm tofu seasoned with lemon juice and nutritional yeast.
