There’s something about a creamy, herby dip that instantly says “come on over.” This Whipped Feta & Herb Dip is a recipe I created one spring afternoon while looking for something to eat alongside my fresh produce from the farm stand. This recipe is now officially my go-to for spring and summer gatherings -it’s light but luscious, bright with lemon and fresh herbs, and irresistibly scoop-able with warm pita or crunchy veggies. Made with just a handful of ingredients like feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and a mix of seasonal herbs, it comes together quickly but tastes like something you’d order at your favourite mezze spot. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party, building a picnic basket, or just want a fridge snack that feels a little fancy, this dip is it.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Feta cheese: tangy and salty base

Optional toppings and add-ins: honey, roasted pine nuts or pistachios, chili flakes

How to Make Whipped Feta Dip (Step-by-Step)

This recipe comes together in under 10 minutes, it’s that easy. You’ll want to begin by blending the feta base. For this, you’ll combine the feta, cream cheese, greek yogurt, grated garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. After the base is a whipped, smooth texture, fold in the chopped fresh herbs. If you prefer the base to have a light green colour, you can blend the herbs in. Taste and adjust with more lemon juice, salt, or pepper as needed.

If time allows, chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, lemon zest and fresh herbs.

Tips for the Creamiest Texture

This recipe is meant to be light and fluffy and the best way to achieve that creamy texture is by using a food processor or a high-speed blender. Choose block feta in brine, if available, for better flavour and texture. Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature for easier blending.

Ingredient Swaps & Add-In Ideas

The beauty of a recipe like this one is that there is so much flexibility in what you use! Feel free to swap herbs based on what’s in season or based on personal preference. Add heat with chili flakes, top with roasted garlic, or make it sweet-savoury with a drizzle of honey. The choice is yours!

How to Serve Whipped Feta Dip

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge. At the time of serving, top with additional lemon juice or olive oil to avoid any discolouration and to keep fresh. Eat within three days to maintain the best flavour and texture.
