How to Make Easy Whipped Feta Dip Recipe
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 whipped feta dip with honey is amazing!
- Sprinkle sumac onto the dip; this is the “red stuff” you’ll see on hummus at Mediterranean restaurants.
Directions:
- 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:
If you’re not serving this feta dip immediately, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be sure to give it a good stir before serving.
Serving Suggestions:
Whipped feta dip is a delicious appetizer that pairs well with many different foods. Serve it with pita chips, fresh pita bread or naan, an assortment of crackers, olives, vegetables like carrots, celery, cucumbers, and radishes, or even spread it on crostini. For dessert, try a delicious No-Bake Key Lime Pie!
