Author’s Notes
A Dip So Good, It Became Dinner!
Woah, do I have a treat for you today! And by treat, I don’t technically mean dessert. It’s actually an appetizer. But I’m not kidding when I say I’d choose this over a sweet treat any day because it’s that good. If you’re a feta lover like me, this is truly the best appetizer ever.
And while I’m obsessed with this dip paired with some good crostini, I’ve also been loving it as part of a meal. It makes an amazing spread or base, kind of like hummus.
Lately, I’ve been eating this combo on repeat: toasted mini naan, a generous swipe of this whipped feta dip, some diced chicken thighs or leftover rotisserie chicken, a quick relish of diced cucumbers (1 cup), cherry tomatoes (1 cup), red onion (½ cup), and orange bell pepper (1 cup), plus a big drizzle of a reliable lemon dressing.
This is one of those meals you’ll want to rave about. The best part is I prep all the components ahead of time, then just assemble at lunch or dinner. I seriously can’t get enough. The whipped feta gets warm and melty on the toasted naan, and oof, it’s a good one.
Whipped Feta Recipe Ingredients
| Ingredient | Tip or Swap |
|---|---|
| Feta cheese | Use a block, not crumbles: A block of feta is creamier and blends smoother. |
| Cream cheese & Greek yogurt | Use good brands and full-fat for the creamiest texture. Yogurt adds tang and helps smooth it out. It is satisfying to Fage or Greek God’s here! |
| Garlic powder & lemon | The lemon is skippable, but It is satisfying to the added flavor and brightness. |
| Olive oil | Add slowly while blending to get a light, airy texture. |
| Honey & pistachios | These toppings add sweet crunch. Try hot honey or swap nuts if preferred. |
Storage
Store leftover whipped feta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, stirring it well before serving.
