Why You’ll Love Creamy Whipped Feta Dip

Easy to make – This creamy dip is truly effortless to make. Just add the ingredients to the bowl of a food processor and puree until it’s smooth and creamy.

Customizable toppings – Feta dip is a blank slate for toppings. Try topping it with dukkah, chopped pistachios, red pepper flakes and a drizzle of honey, crumbled feta and fresh chopped herbs, or chopped sun dried tomatoes.

Healthy appetizer – If you’re looking for something lighter, full of protein, and tastes great, this creamy feta dip is perfect! Greek yogurt and feta make it a higher protein dip compared to other creamy dips.

Ingredients used to make Whipped Feta Dip.

Ingredients Notes

Feta – Use a block of feta, not pre-crumbled.

Greek yogurt – Low fat or whole milk Greek yogurt will give you the richest flavor and creamiest consistency.

Olive oil – Extra virgin olive oil give the dip a rich luscious flavor and consistency.

Dried dill and oregano – The dried Mediterranean herbs add great flavor.

Garlic powder – If you don’t like the sharp taste of raw garlic, use garlic powder. If you want to use fresh garlic, use 1/4 teaspoon grated or minced.

Lemon – Fresh lemon juice. Don’t use bottled lemon juice, please.

How to Make Whipped Feta Dip

Making this dip couldn’t be easier! Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of a food processor and turn it on. Blitz it until it’s smooth and creamy.

You’ll need to scrape down the sides of the bowl 1-2 times to ensure everything is combined. Taste it for seasoning and then pour it into a serving bowl. So easy!

Recipe Tip

Use good quality creamy feta from a block. Pre-crumbled feta is much drier and contain anti-caking agents that will prevent the dip from getting smooth and creamy. I often use and recommend Valbreso Feta, which is a sheep’s milk feta.

Ways to Serve Feta Dip

There are so many ways you can serve whipped feta dip!

Veggies – I love serving this dip with an assortment of vegetables such as peppers, carrots, cucumbers, celery, and tomatoes.

Crackers – Any kind of cracker is good, but I especially love it with pita crackers.

Pita bread – Warm pita bread or naan for scooping up the dip is a must.

Meat or seafood – This is an excellent dip to serve with shrimp and salmon. I love pairing it with this baked salmon. Chicken is another great option to serve the dip with. I often use it as a dipping sauce for these Greek lemon chicken skewers or a dressing for this chicken souvlaki salad.

Mediterranean meal – Use the feta dip as a side dish to a full Mediterranean meal. Make my Greek meatballs and Greek orzo salad and serve the feta dip on the side or as an appetizer with warm pita or naan.

Sauce for rice bowls – You know I love a good rice bowl! Sometimes I like to swap the tzatziki sauce with this whipped feta dip when I make these chicken gyro bowls or Greek chicken meatball bowls.

Can Whipped Feta Dip Be Made Without a Food Processor?

Yes, however I find that the food processor is the easiest and gives you the creamiest consistency. If you don’t have a food processor an immersion stick blender or high speed blender work.

A stand mixer won’t work for this feta dip. It doesn’t have the powder to break down the feta and make it creamy.
