Ingredients

½ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, finely grated or minced
Zest of ½ lemon
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
¼ cup chopped Kalamata olives
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For serving:
Warm crusty bread or pita
Instructions
Pour the olive oil into a shallow bowl or small serving dish.

Add the garlic, lemon zest, crushed red pepper flakes, oregano, thyme, parsley if using, and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir gently to combine.

Scatter the chopped olives and sun-dried tomatoes over the oil. Finish by sprinkling the feta over the top.

Let the dipping oil sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving so the flavors have a chance to come together. Serve with warm bread for dipping.

Notes
Serving Tip
I love serving this with the feta right on top so the oil slowly soaks into it. As people dip their bread, they get a little bit of everything each time. It’s casual, interactive, and perfect for setting out while you finish the rest of the meal.

Make-Ahead Tip
You can mix the oil, herbs, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes a few hours ahead and keep it covered at room temperature. Add the feta just before serving so it stays fresh and crumbly.

  1. I am highly allergic to garlic. I can’t even go to a greek restaurant and just drink something, I get green in the face from the smell. I had a friend of the south of france, she said they eat garlic but in greek food you can’t taste any other ingredient with the amount of garlic. But I’ll definitely make this without the garlic.

  2. Wife: “You hungry yet?”
    Me: “Nope”

  3. Dimitra this looks wonderful. I’m doing this on the weekend. The combo of flavours would be great.

  4. I hit it with just a splash of balsamic vinegar,from a recipe of yours I found recently ❤
