Ingredients & Equipment Used In This Recipe
While most ingredients can be bought in grocery stores, for your convenience, any specialized or notable ingredients and equipment needed for this recipe have been linked to Amazon or other stores if available online. Staple ingredients such as oil, salt, sugar, etc., aren’t always included here as you’re likely to have those in your kitchen. The complete list of ALL ingredients with measurements is found on the recipe card.
- Fresh Produce – Lemons, Garlic, Dill, Cherry/Grape Tomatoes
- Dairy – Feta, Sour Cream
- Dried Thyme
- Dried Oregano
- Dried Dill
- Pitted Whole Black Olives
- Crackers – use an assortment of your favorite crackers
Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use both cup measurements and/or weighted measurements. American cups and kitchen food scales are handy pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen as it means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog. I try to give American, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. Please note, you can mix cup measurements with weighted measurements, but never mix imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, litres, etc.,).

Recipe Tips
- Feta cheese blends easier at room temperature, so plan to remove it from the refrigerator approximately 30 minutes before preparing this recipe.
- If necessary, add a small amount of water, a little at a time, to the mixture until the desired consistency is reached.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The dip may firm up and need a little water to loosen it. Not suitable for freezing.

Nice, but if you’re publishing to a uk website please use uk measures. We don’t use cups here.

I have provided both measures where possible – on older recipes, such as this one, it may not have yet been updated. Cups are easy to source in the UK!
