Description
Make this simple, creamy whipped feta dip in just five minutes. It combines salty feta with tangy yogurt and a sweet honey drizzle, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 ounces plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of black pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey, for drizzling
- 2 tablespoons pistachios, roughly chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Place the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and black pepper into a food processor.
- Process the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This usually takes 1 to 2 minutes.
- Taste the dip and add a small amount of water or more lemon juice if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Transfer the whipped feta dip to a shallow serving bowl.
- Drizzle the top generously with the remaining olive oil and the honey.
- Sprinkle with chopped pistachios, if using.
- Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
- For a tangier dip, use full-fat feta cheese.
- If you do not have a food processor, you can use a high-powered blender, though the texture may require more scraping.
- For a spicy variation, mix a pinch of red pepper flakes into the honey before drizzling.
