Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. The dip will last in the fridge for up to one week.
Make Ahead Tips: You can make the dip up to 3 days ahead of time and store it in the fridge in an airtight container. Note that it will stiffen in the fridge, but will loosen once left at room temperature for half an hour.
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However if you prefer to skip the garlic and mint, you can do so. They really help flavor the recipe though so I would strongly recommend using them, and especially recommend using them fresh instead of in powdered/dried herb form.
Equipment: You can whip up this feta dip simply by using a fork or spoon. If you want it to be extra creamy and whipped, you can try using a small food processor. I tried mine in the Cuisinart Smart Stick, which is like a mini food processor and perfect for quickly blending small dips like this.
