1 pound good feta, crumbled

1 pound sour cream, Greek yogurt, labeneh, or a combination (New Yorkers — Mimi’s new store sells a fabulous homemade labeneh, and it’s amazing in this dip)

1 small bunch scallions (5 - 6), chopped very fine

1/4 cup parsley, chopped very fine

Juice of 1 lemon

Optional: 2 tbsp. fresh chives or rosemary or your favorite herb

Combine feta, sour cream, scallions and parsley. Add lemon juice and black pepper and taste. The lemon and black pepper should brighten the other flavors without overpowering (the predominant flavor should be the feta, with green onion in a solid supporting role). Let stand about an hour for the flavors to really come together. Taste and adjust seasonings one last time before serving with raw crudites and fresh cumin pita chips, or simply toasted pita bread.
