- Crumble the block of feta cheese into smaller pieces and place in a food processor or blender.
- Add Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoon of olive oil and blend until smooth. Check the consistency, it should be thick and creamy. If it’s too clumpy, add another tablespoon of yogurt and another teaspoon of olive oil and blend again (optionally use fork to mash your feta and whisk to whip it up).
- Spoon the creamy whipped feta dip onto a clean large board and make swirl designs using the back of the spoon.
- Add toppings by first sprinkling the cucumbers and tomatoes, followed by the radish. Crumble over the walnuts and tear the fresh mint leaves on top
