Creamy Feta Dip
Description
Creamy Feta Dip is a smooth, spreadable blend mainly made from feta cheese and Greek yogurt, emulsified with olive oil, lemon juice for brightness, and garlic for aromatic depth. Black pepper adds a subtle spiciness, while garnishes like fresh dill and crushed red pepper elevate the dip with herbal and mild heat accents. The food processor method ensures a uniform, creamy texture without feta chunks.
Its creamy consistency and tangy flavor make it versatile for pairing with toasted bread, a variety of crackers, or crisp raw vegetables. The dip functions well as a snack, appetizer, or part of a mezze platter.
Storing in an airtight container within the refrigerator preserves freshness up to a week. The dip can be prepared up to three days in advance; expect it to firm when chilled and soften at room temperature before serving. Avoid including topping or dippers in nutritional calculations.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces feta cheese broken into chunks
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- dill for garnish, fresh
- crushed red pepper for garnish
Instructions
- Place the feta cheese, Greek Yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and black pepper in the bowl of a small food processor. Process until smooth and creamy with no chunks of feta remaining.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, and use a spoon to create a swirl on top of the dip. Drizzle extra olive oil on top and scatter with fresh dill and crushed red pepper.
- Serve with toasted bread, crackers and vegetables.
Notes
- Store the dip in an airtight container refrigerated for up to one week.
- It can be made up to three days ahead and should be brought to room temperature before serving to soften.
- Note that the nutritional values exclude toppings and serving accompaniments.
