This Whipped Feta Dip has all the elements of a stellar and flavorful appetizer. I'll admit, I wasn't sure about how whipped feta would taste before...but now I'M SOLD!

Sharp feta cheese, creamy ricotta and Greek yogurt, and zesty lemon, all packed with a little heat, come together for an incredible burst of flavor! Serve it with crackers, chips, pita bread, or crunchy veggies. You'll be refilling that snacking tray so many times you'll start to worry you might run out!

You can also incorporate this dip as a fun spread on breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, or as part of your meal prep routine.

Ingredients for whipped feta dip

Feta Cheese: I love how tart this cheese is. It's also easy to cream into a spreadable dip.

Plain Greek Yogurt: Great source of protein and super healthy! This will help make our dip nice and creamy.

Ricotta: Another dip essential. The flavor of ricotta pairs so well with feta. And it tastes great cold or warmed up!

Lemon: We'll use the juice and the zest for a pop of flavor.

Olive Oil: Adds a sophisticated flavor and acts as a gorgeous, gourmet topping.

Mike's Hot Honey: I loooooove this stuff. Sweet with a little kick. Will add more dimension to this dip.

Red Pepper Flakes: Just a pinch to add some spice and color.

Salt & Pepper: Add to taste.

Green Onion: Great color, texture, and flavor!

Frequently asked questions

What's the best way to store this Whipped Feta Dip?
Store it in the fridge for up to a week. Be sure to give it 3-4 good stirs prior to ensure none of the ingredients have settled or separated.

What if I don't like feta cheese?
That's okay! You can try using a softer cheese like goat cheese instead. It will change the taste of the dip, but the texture will be similar.

Can I use feta crumbles instead of a block?
Yes! Just note that the crumbles will take longer to mix.

Any tips to tone down the spice?
Swap the spicy honey for regular honey and add a sprinkle of pepper instead of red pepper flakes. You could also get creative by using a flavored yogurt!

Can I make this in a blender?
Sure! The texture may be a little different, though. I recommend pulsing the cheeses and yogurt a few times to get more of a ‘dip’ like texture.

Is this Whipped Feta Dip good for meal prep?
You can totally make this for meal prep. The texture of the dip is designed to be a little clumpy. If this recipe is in your meal prep rotation, just be sure to give it a good stir or two prior to eating.
