Creamy Whipped Feta Dip

8 ounces block quality feta, drained

¾ cup Greek yogurt

1 lemon zest

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, more as needed

1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper, or red pepper flakes (to your taste)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

2-3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, optional

1-2 tablespoons crushed pistachios, optional

In the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a blade, combine the feta, Greek yogurt and lemon zest.
Blend, and while the processor is running, drizzle olive oil through the top opening, until the feta is whipped to a smooth mixture.
Transfer the whipped feta to a serving plate.
With the back of your spoon, smooth the top of the feta, making an indentation in the middle (or a 'well').
Pour a bit of olive oil all over the feta, then top with the Aleppo pepper, fresh herbs, and nuts.
Serve with pita chips or pita wedges.
