Craving a Mediterranean diet-compatible lunch or side that you can wip up in about 2 minutes, using simple ingredients and nothing more than a microwave?
Here in the Bay Area, following the Mediterranean diet is a way of life. And we’re also busy! So this is a perfect recipe.
Here’s how to make our 2-minute Mediterranean feta dip.
Ingredients
- Half a cup of crumbled Feta cheese
- 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- Fennel seed
- Oregano
- Salt and pepper
How to Make It
Put the feta cheese into a microwave-safe bowl. Use crumbled feta.

Pour in 2-3 tbsp of olive oil, or more if you’d like. We recommend EVOO. Sprinkle fennel seed, oregano, salt and pepper over the feta to taste.

Microwave for 10-second increments until the feta begins to melt. Stir and repeat until melted and hot.

Dip pita bread, pita chips (we like Stacy’s) or veggies into your feta dip.
Enjoy!
