It’s smooth, tangy, garlicky, and has just the right amount of zing to make your taste buds do a little happy dance. Plus, it comes together in just five minutes. Yep, five minutes! Which means you can whip this up even when you have a hungry crowd hovering over you, asking, "Is it ready yet?"

Ingredients You’ll Need

Feta Dip Ingredients
  • Feta Cheese (8 oz. block) – Skip the pre-crumbled feta for this one. The block has better texture and flavor.

  • Greek Yogurt (1 cup) – Gives the dip a creamy, tangy base.

  • Olive Oil (4 tbsp) – Helps blend everything together while adding richness.

  • Garlic (2 cloves) – Because garlic makes everything better.

  • Lemon Juice (from ½ lemon) – Adds brightness and a little zing.

  • Red Pepper Flakes (¼ tsp) – Just enough to give it a gentle kick.

  • Salt & Black Pepper (¼ tsp each, or to taste) – Because seasoning is key!

  • Parsley (for garnish) – A pop of freshness to finish it off.

How to Make Whipped Feta Dip

  • Blend It Up – In a food processor, add the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If it looks a little thick, drizzle in another tablespoon of olive oil and blend again.

  • Garnish Like a Pro – Transfer the dip to a bowl, then sprinkle with red pepper flakes and chopped parsley. You can also drizzle a little extra olive oil on top for that restaurant-style finish.

  • Serve and Enjoy – Pair it with warm pita, crunchy veggies, or crispy crackers. Or just grab a spoon – no judgment here!

Tips & Tricks for the Best Whipped Feta Dip

  • Use a High-Powered Blender or Food Processor – Feta is a little crumbly, so a good processor will give you that smooth, luscious texture.

  • Adjust the Consistency – If you like a thinner dip, add a little more olive oil or a splash of water and blend again.

  • Let It Chill – While this dip is amazing right away, letting it sit in the fridge for an hour helps the flavors meld together beautifully.

  • Go Crazy with Toppings – Try a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of za’atar, or even some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for a flavor boost.

What to Serve with Whipped Feta Dip

This dip pairs well with just about everything! Here are a few of my favorite serving ideas:

  • Warm pita bread – The classic choice, soft and fluffy.

  • Crunchy veggies – Cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots – all great for dipping.

  • Crackers or pita chips – Adds that perfect crunch.

  • Roasted veggies – Try it with grilled zucchini, eggplant, or roasted sweet potatoes.

  • On a sandwich or wrap – Spread it inside a pita with grilled chicken and greens for a quick meal.

Make It Your Own

One of the best things about this dip is how easy it is to customize. Here are a few fun variations:
