Ingredients

  • 8 oz feta cheese block - drained, at room temp
  • ¼ cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt - at room temp
  • 1 clove garlic - minced, optional
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice - optional
  • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil - plus extra for drizzling, at room temp
  • salt - to taste
  • pepper - to taste
  • Pomegranate pearls - for topping, optional
  • Za’atar seasoning - for topping, optional
  • Mint - to garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Break the feta cheese into large chunks and place them into the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender.
  • Pulse the feta in short bursts until it resembles fine crumbs, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Add the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, and lemon juice to the food processor. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Then blend for 1–2 minutes until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape the sides as needed.
  • Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed. Transfer the dip to a shallow bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and top with pomegranate pearls, za’atar, and fresh mint, if desired.

Notes

This whipped feta dip recipe yields approximately 1 to 1¼ cups of dip, and makes about 4 to 6 appetizer-sized servings, depending on what it's served with.
  • For best results, use room temperature ingredients. This helps the dip blend more easily for a smoother consistency.
  • If the dip is too thick, adjust the consistency with a small amount of olive oil, lemon juice, or Greek yogurt until it’s light and spreadable.
  • Be sure to check out the full post for topping ideas and fun ways to use this whipped feta in everyday recipes!
How to store whipped feta dip: Transfer leftover whipped feta to an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. After chilling in the refrigerator, the dip will firm up slightly. To return it to its original whipped consistency, allow it to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, then re-blend (or stir well for smaller portions). If you'd like to make this dip ahead, wait to add any toppings until just before serving. Freezing is not recommended.
