The easiest, most addicting dipping oil you’ll make all spring. I make this every time I am hosting! The tangy brightness of lemon juice and zest pairs beautifully with the creamy feta crumbles, while fresh dill and parsley bring a burst of herbaceous flavor. A hint of red pepper flakes adds a subtle kick, and flaky Maldon salt ties everything together. Serve it with warm crusty bread and watch it disappear in minutes.
