Print Recipe

A quick and easy creamy whipped feta dip with roasted red peppers that is tangy, smooth, and perfect for entertaining. This dip combines bold flavors with a light, fluffy texture and is a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces crumbled feta cheese (preferably creamy block feta)
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers, drained and roughly chopped
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (or sour cream as a substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh dill or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Drain and roughly chop the roasted red peppers to avoid excess liquid in the dip.
  2. Soften the cream cheese by letting it come to room temperature or microwaving in 10-second bursts carefully.
  3. In a food processor, combine crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, roasted red peppers, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Pulse until smooth and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning with freshly cracked black pepper. Skip extra salt as feta is salty.
  5. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and thicken the dip.
  6. Before serving, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle chopped fresh herbs like dill or parsley. Serve with pita chips, fresh cucumbers, or crunchy carrots.

Notes

Drain roasted red peppers thoroughly to avoid watery dip. Soften cream cheese before blending for smooth texture. Chill dip for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors and thicken. If dip is too thick after chilling, stir in a teaspoon of water or olive oil. Avoid over-blending to prevent warming and thinning the dip. Keeps well refrigerated up to 3 days; do not freeze.
