Print Recipe

A creamy, tangy whipped feta dip made in just five minutes using simple ingredients like feta, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Perfect for quick snacks, parties, or as a versatile spread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 g) block feta cheese
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons (30–45 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced or pressed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or chives) – optional
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) water or milk, if needed to loosen consistency

Instructions

  1. Crumble or break the feta into chunks and place in a food processor bowl.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of fresh lemon juice.
  3. Add one small garlic clove, finely minced or pressed.
  4. Secure the lid and pulse a few times to break down the feta, then blend continuously for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides once or twice for even mixing.
  5. If the dip is too thick or crumbly, add 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of water or milk and blend again until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Taste and add freshly cracked black pepper and stir in fresh herbs if using.
  7. Give a final taste check and optionally add a tiny drizzle of honey or a pinch of sugar to mellow out sharpness.
  8. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately or chill for 10-15 minutes to let flavors meld.

Notes

Use block feta for a smoother texture rather than pre-crumbled. Fresh lemon juice is preferred over bottled for brightness. Add water or milk gradually to adjust consistency. Chilling the dip enhances flavor. Optionally sprinkle toasted pine nuts or crushed red pepper flakes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; stir before serving if firm.
