Whipped Feta Dip
This easy whipped feta dip is a super simple snack, takes just 10 minutes to make and is so delicious served with pita bread or crackers.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 12 ounces block feta cheese
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil plus more for serving
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt or more to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes plus more for serving
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
- Pour into a bowl and create a swirl on top with the back of a spoon. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with crushed red pepper flakes and fresh cracked black pepper.
- Serve with pita wedges or chips, bagel chips, or naan.
Notes
This recipe makes about 3 1/2 cups of dip. Plan to serve at least 1/4 cup of dip per person. So roughly 12-14 people for this recipe.
Storage - For safety, this dip should only be left out for a maximum of two hours. Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Make Ahead - This dip is a great make ahead option! You can easily make it a few days in advance and store in the fridge. To serve, I like to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving so it is creamy and not firm. Also, save the garnished for right before serving.
