Ingredients
Main 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
Garnishes
- Fresh dill (for garnish)
- Crushed red pepper (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Break the feta cheese into smaller chunks to ensure easier blending and smoother consistency.
- Blend the dip: Place the feta chunks, Greek yogurt, ¼ cup olive oil, lemon juice, garlic clove, and black pepper into the bowl of a small food processor. Process the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, making sure there are no chunks of feta remaining.
- Transfer and garnish: Spoon the whipped feta mixture into a serving bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a decorative swirl on the surface. Drizzle additional olive oil on top, then garnish with fresh dill and crushed red pepper for a burst of color and flavor.
- Serve: Offer the whipped feta dip alongside toasted bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of crushed red pepper garnish.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture.
- This dip can be made a few hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Serve with pita chips or sliced cucumbers as additional serving options.
