Creamy Whipped Feta Dip Recipe
This easy whipped feta dip is going to be your new favorite quick-and-easy appetizer or snack recipe! Literally it’s ready in 5 minutes, thanks to tossing all the ingredients in your food processor and letting it do the work! It reminds me of Classic Hummus where you just toss in and blend. What I love about this whipped feta cheese dip has a fresh flavor and you can clearly taste the lemon thanks to using both lemon zest and lemon juice. That lemony taste is balanced with garlic, smoked paprika, fresh herbs along with the naturally creamy, salty base of the feta cheese. I also use Greek yogurt and olive oil to make this whipped feta dip taste luxurious and have a rich mouthfeel. Whether you need a quick dip recipe for last-minute holiday entertaining, as a dinner party appetizer to set out for guests, or for game day parties or a casual backyard summer get-together, this is always a hit!

How To Serve Whipped Feta Dip
I like to create a beautiful mezze platter with this dip plus veggies such as carrot sticks, celery sticks, cucumber rounds or spears, zucchini, radishes, cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, to name a few crudites into this heavenly dip. Although, if don’t have 30 minutes to spare, the dip will still be a crowd-pleaser if served immediately. Bread such as a sliced baguette, grilled pita bread, sliced French bread, or any crusty hearty bread will work. Of course, pita chips, tortilla chips, crackers, or flatbread are all great dippers, too. Chances are, you’re going to be serving this easy whipped feta dip along with other items at a party or event. Maybe you want to dunk a few Baked Italian Meatballs or Honey Garlic Meatballs into this creamy dip or make a wonderful cheese board or charcuterie board as shown below.
