Ingredients
See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
- Feta cheese – Get a block of feta, not the pre-crumbled kind. Full-fat varieties will provide the best taste and texture.
- Greek yogurt – Use plain Greek yogurt; you can use 0% for a lighter whipped feta dip or whole milk Greek yogurt for a creamier consistency.
- Lemon
- Garlic – A garlic press is perfect for mincing the garlic so no one gets a big chunk in their dip!
- Salt
- Black pepper
For the garnish:
- Sun-dried tomatoes
- Fresh basil
- Red pepper flakes – You can skip these for a milder dip, or replace them with freshly cracked black pepper.
- Olive oil – Use a high-quality extra-virgin olive oil with a fruity aroma and flavor.
Variations
- Add chopped fresh herbs like parsley, oregano, dill, or chives.
- Swap out the feta cheese for goat cheese for a different flavor.
- Use roasted red peppers instead of sun-dried tomatoes.
- Instead of olive oil, drizzle honey over the top before serving.
- Sprinkle sumac onto the dip; this is the “red stuff” you’ll see on hummus at Mediterranean restaurants.
How to Make Whipped Feta Dip
- Process the dip ingredients. Crumble the feta cheese into your food processor or blender, along with the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is uniformly smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Finish: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Then, top it with the sun-dried tomatoes and basil, and sprinkle on the red pepper flakes. Drizzle with the olive oil, and serve.
Quick Tip
If a smoother consistency is desired, press the mixture through a fine mesh strainer, pushing any leftover crumbles of feta through.
How to Store Leftover Whipped Feta Dip

FAQs
Whipped feta dip can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to keep it in an airtight container.
No, as it is a dairy-based dish, I do not recommend freezing whipped feta dip. For best results, enjoy it freshly made.
You can use this whipped feta dip as a spread instead of cream cheese. It’s great on bagels and toast!
