Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 3 tbsp. chopped almonds and whole pepitas
• 1 tbsp. sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup crumbled feta
• 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 3 tbsp. crème fraiche or sour cream
• 1 tbsp. chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
• 1 tbsp. chopped fresh mint, plus more for garnish
• 1 tbsp. chopped red onion, plus more for garnish

Directions

1. In a small skillet, heat the oil over high. When it shimmers, add the nuts and pepitas; cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown, 1-2 minutes. Add the sesame seeds; stir until golden, about 1 minutes. Remove from heat. Carefully add the lemon juice. When the nuts and seeds turn very deep brown and stop sputtering, scrape them into a small bowl; let cool.

2. In a food processor, puree the feta, yogurt and crème fraiche. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in the nuts, seeds, and 1 tbsp. each dill, mint and onion. Garnish with more herbs and onion; season with salt and pepper. Serve with crudites.
