Make my creamy whipped feta dip!

I started making this whipped feta dip after a friend brought something similar to a dinner party, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Hers had a ton of olive oil and garlic, so I toned it down a bit and added yogurt to make it creamier. Now I make this whipped feta recipe anytime I need a quick appetizer. It takes five minutes, and I usually have everything in the fridge already.

Happy Cooking!

Feta Dip Ingredients

Ingredients for recipe: block of feta cheese, greek yogurt, pepper, lemon, garlic, and olive oil.

Feta cheese: I recommend a block of feta instead of crumbles. The block is creamier and blends better for a smoother dip.
Greek yogurt: I prefer full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest dip and richest flavor. You can use low-fat yogurt, but the dip might be less creamy.
Olive oil: I use it in the dip, and I drizzle some on top to serve. I recommend extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
Lemon juice: Read my tips on how to juice a lemon.
Garlic: I put the whole bulb straight into the food processor.
Seasonings: Just black pepper to taste.

Recipe Variations

Add roasted red peppers. Blend in some roasted red peppers for sweet and smoky flavor. A dash of red pepper flakes or a small minced jalapeño are nice options, too.
Use a different citrus. Swap out the lemon juice for lime juice for a slightly different taste.
Spread it on a sandwich. Mediterranean feta dip tastes great in my beef shawarma wraps and my roasted cauliflower pita sandwiches.
Try it in a salad. If you like adding hummus to your salad, try adding this Greek yogurt feta dip to my Mediterranean Pasta Salad or my Green Goddess Salad.

Recipe Tips

Use high-quality ingredients. This feta cheese dip only has a few ingredients, which means the flavors really shine. I recommend using high-quality feta and olive oil for the best possible taste.
Adjust the thickness as needed. If the dip is too thick, add more olive oil or yogurt. If it’s too thin, add water 1 tbsp at a time.
Let the dip rest. Place it in the fridge before serving to intensify the flavors.

FAQs

How do I store feta dip?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. When you’re ready to serve again, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes. If it’s too thick, give it a stir. You can also drizzle more olive oil to bring back its creamy consistency.

Can I freeze feta dip?

Yes, but the texture might be different when it thaws. Freeze the dip in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge before serving.

Can I make the feta dip ahead of time?

You can make the dip up to 3 days ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stiffen in the fridge, but will loosen at room temperature after 30 minutes.

My feta dip is too salty. What can I do?

Feta cheese inherently has a salty flavor profile. If your dip tastes too salty, you might have used a particularly salty feta brand. Try a milder feta next time, or add more Greek yogurt and/or a squeeze of lemon juice to balance the saltiness.
