Method

Pita Chips

Preheat oven to 375°F

Cut pita into triangles using a pizza cutter or scissors. Once your pitas are cut into wedges, split them down the middle and separate the sides, this ensures a nice thin chip! Arrange pita chips on a sheet pan and brush them lightly with Wesson Canola Oil. Season with kosher salt, smoked paprika, and oregano.

Tip: regular paprika will work fine here, or you can experiment with your other favorite seasonings like turmeric, black pepper, or everything bagel seasoning!

Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Cucumber Mint Topping

Finely dice cucumber and set aside in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1tsp salt and mix until well combined with the cucumber. Place the bowl in the fridge and let sit for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture from the cucumber. This ensures the moisture in the cucumber does not bleed into the dip.

Whipped Feta Dip

In a small food processor or blender combine feta, Greek yogurt, Wesson Canola Oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Blend until smooth.

Spread the dip into a wide bowl or shallow plate, cover, and store in fridge until ready to serve.

Tip: for a richer dip, use a full fat Greek yogurt

Assembly Method

Remove cucumber from fridge and strain from liquid. Add cucumber, orange pepper, mint, parsley, Wesson Canola Oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Mix until well combined. A nice fine chop ensures an easy bite that is packed with flavor! In a shallow bowl, spread a thick layer of whipped feta dip across the bottom. Spoon cucumber mixture over the feta dip, sprinkle with sesame seeds and drizzle with honey. Serve with homemade pita chips. Tip: add the cucumber mint topping just before serving to ensure the best presentation!
