Whipped Feta Dip
Whipped Feta Dip! Greek yogurt and feta cheese are whipped together then drizzled with honey and sprinkled with pistachios in this mouthwatering appetizer!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic or more, if desired
- 1 crumbled feta cheese divided
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoons roasted pistachios roughly chopped
Instructions
- Place cream cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic, feta cheese and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor.
- Process until the mixture is smooth.
- Scoop the Whipped Feta Dip into an airtight container and refrigerate until chilled. This will allow the flavors to marry. (If you're going to serve it right away, scoop the mixture into a serving bowl.)
- Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and a drizzle of honey just before serving.
- Enjoy with pita chips, bread or crudités!
Notes
Variations
- Spice things up by blending some red pepper flakes into the dip for a hint of heat.
- Add herbaceous flavor by folding in some chopped herbs such as basil or parsley.
- Make it lemony by adding some grated lemon zest to the mix.
- Amp up the color and flavor by blending in a few pieces of jarred roasted red pepper for a new version.
- Keep things purely savory by drizzling with good quality olive oil and swapping the pistachios for pine nuts.
- Vegan or Dairy-Free: I personally have not tried making this with plant-based products, but in theory, it should work! Just sub out the regular cream cheese and feta for plant-based versions, and use date syrup instead of honey. The flavor may be a bit different depending on which products you use.
