Print Recipe

A smooth, fluffy, and tangy whipped feta dip combined with smoky roasted red peppers, perfect for parties and snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup (150 grams) roasted red peppers, drained (jarred or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional: dill, parsley, or chives for garnish)
  • Optional: smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, or za’atar for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Drain the roasted red peppers well to avoid watery dip. Crumble the feta cheese into smaller bits if in block form. Mince the garlic finely and juice the lemon. (About 5 minutes)
  2. Add the crumbled feta, roasted red peppers, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil to the food processor bowl. Pulse a few times to start blending. (1-2 minutes)
  3. Run the food processor continuously for about 1-2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed, until the mixture is smooth and fluffy with no large chunks remaining.
  4. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper carefully, tasting before adding salt as feta is naturally salty. Blend briefly to incorporate seasoning.
  5. Spoon the dip into a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  6. Just before serving, drizzle a little olive oil on top and sprinkle with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or dill.

Notes

Drain feta and roasted peppers well to avoid watery dip. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best texture. Pulse first then blend continuously for smooth, fluffy texture. Chill dip before serving for best flavor and spreadability. If too thick after chilling, stir in a teaspoon of water or olive oil to loosen.
