This spread is so good on grilled steaks, pork and turkey burgers, I use it all the time topped on my salmon patties (Kittencal's Salmon Cakes/Patties) in between a bun. You can use it on just about anything! All the ingredients should be adjusted to taste. Plan ahead this needs to chill for a minimum of 5 hours, overnight is even better, this get stronger with chilling time, so be careful with the fresh garlic, it can be too overpowering in this spread if you make the mistake of adding in to much while making it... start with adding in a small amount and chill for about 3 hours if you feel that you want more garlic flavor then mix in more. You can add in salt, but the feta and olives are very salty. Ingredients:
1/4 cup kalamata olive, pitted and chopped (can use canned olives in place of kalamata) |
1/2 cup mayonnaise (use mayo not salad dressing, i use hellman's mayo) |
2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic |
2 teaspoons dried oregano |
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (can use more) |
black pepper (or use cayenne pepper) |
fresh lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Using a food processor, coarsely chop the pitted olives, then add in the mayo, garlic, oregano and feta; process until desired consistency.
2. Add in lemon juice and black pepper to taste, then process again for a couple of seconds.
3. Cover and chill a minimum of about 5 hours or overnight.
