Ingredients

  • 3 whole jalapeno peppers
  • 2-5 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 bulb of garlic
  • 1 brick of feta cheese 8 ounces
  • 1 large Hass avocado mashed
  • the juice of half a lemon
  • the zest of half a lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Chop the top off the garlic bulb and drizzle it with a teaspoon of olive oil. Wrap it in foil and roast for 25-30 minutes. Roast jalapenos on the same baking pan with garlic. Remove both from oven and let cool. When jalapenos are cooled, cut in half, discard seeds and dice.
  • In a medium bowl, crumble the feta. Crumbling the feta yourself works best, but pre-crumbled feta works too.
  • Add mashed avocado, diced jalapenos, the zest of half a lemon, the juice of half a lemon and about 2 tablespoons olive oil (more can be added as needed to achieve desired consistency).
  • Squeeze the roasted garlic out of the bulb directly into the feta. Stir to combine all ingredients and mash together with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, as needed.

Notes

Serve with pita chips, crackers, use it as a salad topping or spread it on sandwiches. Store it in the fridge for up to one week.
