Artichoke Dip with Feta
Description
This Artichoke Dip with Feta uses block feta mashed and mixed with Greek yogurt, chopped artichoke hearts, and sun-dried tomatoes for a creamy yet textured base. Fresh scallions and minced garlic add brightness, while parsley brings a fresh herb flavor. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes lend richness and mild heat.
Baking the dip in a cast iron skillet or baking dish until hot and bubbling melds the flavors and develops a slightly golden top. The dip’s creamy, tangy quality contrasts well with the slight chew of the artichokes and the salty feta. It works well served warm with pita chips or crackers for scooping.
Being a versatile dip, it fits well as an appetizer or snack for gatherings and pairs nicely with Mediterranean-inspired spreads. The recipe notes suggest exploring Mediterranean ingredients like high quality olive oils and spices to complement the dip.
