Ingredients
6 ounces feta cheese
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, finely chopped
1 teaspoon nigella seeds
Directions
Crumble the feta cheese into a medium bowl, breaking it into small, bite-sized pieces.
Drizzle the olive oil over the crumbled feta and gently toss to coat evenly.
Fold in the chopped cherry tomatoes, distributing them throughout the dip.
Sprinkle the nigella seeds over the top and stir gently to incorporate.
Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately at room temperature or chilled, as desired.
Comments
Feta and cherry tomatoes are stocked at every Charlotte chain, but nigella seeds require a trip to an ethnic market or specialty grocer like Whole Foods—a real friction point for a five-minute dip. The cost per serving lands around $1.50–$2.00, held down by bulk feta and oil. Five minutes is honest if your feta is already crumbled and tomatoes halved; if you're starting cold, add ten. This is a same-night appetizer or mezze component that does not reheat well, so size your batch to the crowd.
