Greek Red Pepper Feta Dip Recipe
Description
Greek Red Pepper Feta Dip is crafted by pulsing high-quality feta cheese with jarred, oil-packed roasted red bell peppers in a food processor until coarse. Adding salt and red pepper flakes enhances the savory and slightly spicy profile. While blending, extra virgin olive oil is slowly incorporated to achieve a spreadable consistency suited for dipping.
The dip offers a creamy yet rustic texture combining salty sharpness from the feta and the sweet smokiness from the roasted peppers. The red pepper flakes contribute a gentle warmth without overpowering. This no-cook preparation is simple and quick, allowing the robust flavors of chosen ingredients to come through.
Serve cooled alongside crisp vegetables and warm pita bread, contributing a flavorful Mediterranean element to appetizers or light meals.
The dip keeps well in the refrigerator when sealed airtight for 3 to 4 days; stirring before serving restores the texture as separation can occur naturally during storage.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces feta cheese high-quality
- 6 ounces red bell pepper use the kind sold in jars and packed in oil, roasted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Roughly break up the cheese into chunks and place in the bowl of a food processor or blender.
- Add the roasted red peppers, salt, and red pepper flakes then pulse the processor a few times. While continuing to pulse, drizzle in the olive oil. Depending on the feta used, you may want to add a bit more olive oil until it reaches a spreadable consistency.
- Serve with vegetables and warm pita bread for dipping.
Notes
- Store the dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Stir well before serving if the ingredients separate during storage.
