    I love to serve it with my homemade pita chips, let me show you how to make it in easy steps.

    Whipped creamy feta dip

    Apart from the feta cheese which if you ask me is also a fridge staple if you love Greek salad, you probably have all the ingredients you will need to make this creamy and easy dip on hand.

    Homemade whipped feta dip comes together in 5 minutes and the blender or food processor does all the hard work for you. Yours is to get a presentable bowl and chips, fries, or bread to serve along with it when ready.

    Best believe that this healthy homemade dip is better than store-bought as you have control over what goes into it. It requires minimal effort and it is super affordable.

    Wow, your guests with this creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet dip. It works equally as a spread and will make a great creamy topping on bruschetta or crostini.

    What does feta dip taste like?

    The main ingredient in this homemade dip is feta cheese and it’s a well-bodied cheese. It is rich, creamy, salty, tangy yet delicious. It of Greek origin and made from sheep’s milk.

    It comes in form of a block or sometimes crumbled, both can be used for today’s recipe.

    Feta cheese is not for everyone but I can promise you if you follow this dip recipe to the letter, it will fly off the table before you can say, Jack Robison. 

    Can this be made ahead

    Yes, feta dip can be made 2 to 3 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container and bring it out of the fridge a few minutes before serving so it comes to room temperature. Stir together with a hand whisk for a creamy consistency.

    Greek yogurt

    Mayonnaise: you can use full fat or lite mayonnaise

    Lemon zest: This is optional but I love to add this as it complements the cheese

    Honey: this is an unusual addition to this recipe but trust me on this one, you only need a little to counter the tanginess of the feta cheese

    How to store

    I tend to finish this dip on the day it’s made but it can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.  Bring it out of the fridge 20 to 30 minutes before serving so that it comes to room temperature.
