Make this creamy, tangy whipped feta dip quickly. It is perfect as an easy party appetizer or snack, served with pita bread or vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces block feta cheese, drained
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons honey, for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios (optional garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill or thyme, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the drained feta cheese, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic into a food processor.
  2. Process the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and airy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed. This usually takes 2 to 4 minutes.
  3. Taste the dip and add black pepper as desired. Do not add extra salt, as feta is naturally salty.
  4. Transfer the whipped feta dip to a shallow serving bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a slight well in the center.
  5. Drizzle the honey over the top of the dip.
  6. Garnish with chopped pistachios and fresh herbs, if using.
  7. Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • You can make this dip up to one day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving for the best texture.
  • For a spicy version, substitute the regular honey with hot honey.
  • If you do not have a food processor, you can use a high-powered blender, but you may need to add an extra teaspoon of olive oil for easier blending.
