My absolute favorite dip served with pita chips!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s also great for keto if served with veggies. I will make this for every gathering!!!!❤️❤️❤️Love, love love it!
I halved this recipe to bring as an app for a dinner get together and it was delicious! So easy to make and usually always have these ingredients on hand. Everyone loved it so this will be a staple in my recipe rotation.
This is a great appetizer and every time I make it, dinner guests rave. I only wish the pop-up ads weren’t so frequent. It really deters from spending any time on the site.
Hi Mary! Thanks for trying the recipe and also thank you for your feedback! I’m always looking to optimize!
Made this for girls day with my family and was such a hit we make it often now!
This was so simple and amazing. We used a feta with “Mediterranean herbs” and my 7 year old son nearly ate the whole bowl himself.
Wow love this!! So simple to make but absolutely delicious.. Will be added to my go to appetizer list for sure ?
I tried this recipe and it was easy. I found that adding the salt in the recipe made it too salty. I added a full lemon and more garlic and it was perfect!
Everyone loved the dip!
I see that this question was asked before but not answered. What seasonings are on top
The photo of this dip is so pretty! What are the spices that you sprinkled on top in the photo?
For some reason the poster does not wish to tell us the top seasonings. This is most likely because the photo is not of her actual creation. She probably doesn’t know exactly what they are.
She actually previously commented that is was paprika and fresh parsley, as well as EVOO. I personally use EVOO and Aleppo pepper, and parsley if I happen to have some. I think the pepper flavor is good, but smoked paprika would probably be good too.
Could I make this ahead of time and store in the fridge? Any guidelines here?
Whipped feta dip is great for making ahead! It will stay good in the fridge for a week as long as it’s in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap.
This is a great recipe to use as a base to use and then customize to your own taste! I didn’t add the salt just because my feta had enough in it. I put some caramelized onion and dill in mine. WARNING: do not over blend in the food processor (this is a “me” problem…) it turned to liquid. I was making a double batch, so I saved it by making the second batch in my stand mixer which left everything chunky, then hand folded the liquidy half in.
This sounds amazing! I wonder if it would be good heated?. Definitely going to try this!
Drizzle a little bit of honey on top. Delicious!
YUM! Great idea!
Absolutely delicious!! Made it according to the recipe the first time, the next few times I used flavored cream cheeses, and each and every time it is absolutely delicious.
