About this Dip
Dips are the life of the party! Seriously. Everybody talks about the dip if there's a good one on the table and fights to scrape the bottom of the dish. That's why it's important to know how to make a variety of different kinds so you can impress your friends (and yourself!) with something new & delicious each time!
This Honey 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. And if you're looking for more fun dips to try, also try this Cottage Cheese Chip Dip, Street Corn Feta Dip or this Avocado Crack Dip, too!
Recipe Ingredients
- Feta Cheese: I love how tart this cheese is. It's also soft and easy to whip into a spreadable dip.
- Plain Greek Yogurt: Great source of protein and super healthy! This will help make our dip nice and creamy.
- Ricotta: The flavor of ricotta pairs so well with feta and adds even more creaminess, too.
- Mike's Hot Honey: I loooooove this stuff. Sweet with a little kick. Will add more dimension to this dip.

How to Make This Recipe
- In a mixing bowl, separate a block of drained feta cheese. Add in Greek yogurt and ricotta cheese. Using a hand mixer, slowly beat together.
- Gradually add juice from ½ a lemon and lemon zest while mixing. Repeat with olive oil and Mike's Hot Honey.
- Stop beating the mixture and use a rubber spatula to fold in red pepper flakes.
- Pour into a serving dish. Drizzle some more honey, olive oil, and a few pieces of diced green onion. Serve with your favorite crackers, vegetables, or a grilled protein.
Recipe FAQs
Store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Be sure to give it a good stir prior to enjoying to ensure none of the ingredients have settled or separated.
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!
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 and it's not completely runny.
You might not realize it, but you can use this Honey Whipped Feta for so many delicious meals. It would be delicious topped on a piece of juicy, grilled steak or chicken or mixed in with my Italian Orzo Salad.
This recipe is also great for sharing. Serve it to your friends with your favorite vegetables, crackers, pita bread, or chips. I recommend sliced peppers, carrots, and cucumbers. You could even stuff this inside some olives or spread on a quartered tomato, inside of a grilled chicken wrap, or on top of an omelet! Heck, you could even dip some fries in this dip!

This one is especially good! Something about the green onion and hot honey together seriously hit the spot. I used leftover whipped cheese to make turkey rolls ups for lunch the next day and really enjoyed it in that way too. It is bomb with pretzel thins as an appetizer- little salty, sweet, and light while being decadently creamy. Perfect summer snack 🙂
