Appetizer

You have to make this...I had this dip at a BBQ on Sunday and I came home and searched the internet for the recipe. I get tired of making the same ol' thing...this is really good.

Appetizer: Feta and Cucumber Dip

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 large seedless cucumber, peeled and diced
One half cup red onion, diced
One quarter cup fresh mint, chopped
One quarter cup fresh dill, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Pita bread

Combine all ingredients except pita bread and mix well. Separate pita bread and toast the halves, then cut them diagonally and serve with dip. If you prefer you may also use crackers.

Then to make it even better, make the pita chips for dipping- very easy...


Pita Chips
3 large loaves of pita bread
6 ts olive oil
2 small garlic cloves, crushed
coarse salt

Preheat oven to 400. In a small bowl combine crush garlic & olive oil. Mix well & allow to sit for 2-4 minutes to allow the flavors to "marry" each other.

Take each pita loaf & cut into eight triangles. Brush the garlic mixture evenly over each side of the pita triangles. Sprinkle with Kosher salt. Bake for 5-7 minutes.

YUMMY!! :)
