Amazing and Simple Greek Feta Dip
Description
The Greek Feta Dip recipe uses a base of 8 ounces of feta cheese that is crumbled and combined on a platter with diced Roma tomatoes and finely chopped green onions or chives. Olive oil is drizzled over the ingredients to add richness and moisture. Greek seasoning, which typically includes herbs and spices like oregano and garlic, is sprinkled to enhance the dip’s flavor profile. Optionally, a small amount of white or regular balsamic vinegar is added for subtle acidity and complexity.
The texture is creamy from the soft feta cheese, with freshness provided by the chopped tomatoes and green onions. The olive oil helps meld the components together, resulting in a flavorful, slightly tangy dip that pairs well with bread. This preparation requires no cooking, making it a straightforward assembly of fresh ingredients.
Serving suggestions include sliced baguette bread or pita chips, which are sturdy enough to scoop up the dip. The recipe highlights the difference between block feta cheese, which is creamier, versus pre-crumbled feta, which can be dry and less flavorful. Using a quality block of feta is preferred to achieve the ideal creamy texture.
Ingredients
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3-4 Roma tomatoes about 1 1/2 cups, chopped
- 2 green onions finely chopped (about 1/4 cup, or a bunch of chives
- 8 ounces feta cheese
- 2 teaspoons Greek seasoning
- white balsamic vinegar optional, or regular balsamic vinegar
- baguette sliced, for serving
Instructions
- Drizzle the olive oil over a plate or platter. Add the tomatoes and green onions or chives and crumble the feta cheese over the top. Sprinkle on the Greek seasoning and toss lightly to combine. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, if using (just a teaspoon or so to start - add more to taste).
- Serve the dip with soft, sliced baguettes (pita chips are delicious, too).
Notes
- Using a block of feta cheese results in a creamier dip compared to pre-crumbled feta.
- Cavender's Greek seasoning is popular but contains MSG; a homemade Greek seasoning mix can be used instead.
- Adjust balsamic vinegar quantity gradually to balance acidity to your taste.
