Serving Suggestions
Serve your whipped feta dip with any of your favorite veggies or chips! I love serving it with celery, carrots, peppers, or cucumbers. For chips, my favorites are pita chips or slices of pita bread.
For other easy dips to serve alongside it at a party, you could make fried pickle dip or easy spinach dip.
Ingredients and Ingredient Substitutions
- Feta cheese – I use the block feta in brine
- Greek yogurt – the Greek yogurt creates the perfect consistency for your dip. You could also use sour cream
- Lemon juice – use fresh lemon juice for a bit of zest and brightness in your dip
- Sliced green onion – chives would also work in place of green onion
- Fresh dill and parsley – the fresh herbs add great flavor to your dip
- Black pepper – because feta is salty, I find the dip only needs black pepper, but you can add a pinch of salt to taste
If you would like to add a little kick to your whipped feta dip, you could add a few dashes of hot sauce or some red pepper flakes.
You can top your dip with some crushed nuts for added texture or some lemon zest for color.
How to make
To begin, slice the green onions and remove the stems from the parsley and dill.
Then, cube your feta and juice the lemons so that you have two tablespoons of lemon juice. Add the feta, Greek yogurt, lemon, green onion, dill, parsley and pepper to the food processor or blender (Image 1).
Then, process until a smooth dip remains and all of the herbs are blended in (Image 2). Finally, serve chilled with fresh veggies or pita!
Storage
You can make this dip ahead of time, but consume within 3 days of preparing so that the fresh herbs maintain their taste and flavor. Give it a stir and serve.
