Description
A creamy and fluffy whipped feta dip, perfect for serving with vegetables, pita, or crackers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Greek feta cheese
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil (Use more if you need to loosen the dip)
- 1 Small garlic clove
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1–2 tbsp Pistachios (chopped)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Chili flakes or Aleppo pepper flakes (Optional, to taste)
- Fresh thyme (Optional, to taste)
- Warm pita bread or pita triangles
- Crackers or crostini
- Fresh vegetables (cucumber spears, carrot slices, radishes, etc.)
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Food Processor. Add the feta, Greek yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, garlic clove, lemon zest, and black pepper to a food processor.
- Process. Blend until smooth, creamy, and fluffy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If the mixture feels too thick, add a little more yogurt or a small drizzle of olive oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Plate. Spoon the whipped feta onto a shallow bowl or plate. A shallow plate works especially well here because it gives you more surface area for the toppings.
- Add the Garnish and Serve. Drizzle the top with honey and olive oil, then sprinkle over the chopped pistachios, chili flakes or Aleppo pepper, and fresh thyme. Serve with sides and dippers of choice.
Notes
- This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for a couple of days.
- Adjust seasoning to your preference by adding more lemon zest or olive oil as needed.
