Lawson's New Year's Lit Dip

I always like to post something fun to make for a party for New Year’s Eve. Here’s an awesome recipe. Greek inspired dip.

• 1 tbsp. olive oil

• 2 cloves, minced

• 1 (8-oz. ) block cream cheese, softened

• 1/4 c. whole milk

• 1 c. crumbled feta

• 1 c. shredded mozzarella

• 1/3 c. Greek yogurt

• 2 tbsp. lemon juice

• 1 tbsp. chopped dill, plus more for garnish

• 1 tbsp. chopped parsley, plus more for garnish

• 1 tsp. lemon zest

• 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

• kosher salt

• Freshly ground black peppers

• 1 c. halved cherry tomatoes

• 1/2 c. kalamata olives, sliced

• olive oil, for drizzling

• Pita chips, for serving

DIRECTIONS

1. In a small skillet (or small saucepan) over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add garlic, stirring often, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

2. Add cream cheese, breaking up the cream cheese with a wooden spoon, and cook until melted. Whisk in milk and cook until mixture is heated through.

3. Add feta, mozzarella, yogurt, lemon juice, dill, parsley, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the cheeses have melted, about 5 minutes.

4. Remove from heat, then drizzle with olive oil. Garnish with more dill and parsley. Sprinkle with kalamata olives and tomatoes.

5. Serve warm with pita chips for dipping.

Wishing you the most fantastic party planning and of course a very happy New Year. Follow along with all the fun shenanigans at www.facebook.com/lawsonroberts.
