Introduction

This Green Goddess Whipped Feta Dip is a vibrant and creamy appetizer bursting with fresh herbs and tangy flavors. It’s perfect for pairing with fresh vegetables, crackers, or sea-salted chips to elevate any gathering or snack time.

A round, white bowl filled with a light green creamy dip is placed on a wooden board. The dip is topped with small white cheese crumbles and sprinkled with finely chopped green herbs. Around the bowl, the board holds several orange carrot sticks on the left, sliced green cucumbers at the bottom left, and whole red radishes with a few sliced ones on the upper left. A neat row of golden, round pretzels rests at the top edge of the bowl. The whole setup is on a white marbled surface, with a soft beige cloth on the right and a small dish with lemon wedges below.

Ingredients

1/2 cup packed fresh basil
1/4 cup packed fresh mint
1/3 cup packed fresh dill
1/4 cup chopped chives or green onions
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
2 small garlic cloves
1 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
Pinch of chili flakes

Instructions

Step 1: Into the bowl of a food processor, combine all the ingredients: fresh basil, mint, dill, chives, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, crumbled feta, Greek yogurt, and chili flakes.
Step 2: Blend until fully combined and smooth. Taste the dip and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Step 3: Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, sea-salted chips, or crackers for a delightful appetizer experience.

Tips & Variations

For a high protein variation, substitute Greek yogurt and some feta with 1 cup 1-2% cottage cheese and adjust lemon juice to 2 tbsp. This version is creamy and packs extra protein.
If you don’t have a food processor, a hand blender or high-speed blender will work just as well to whip the dip smooth.
Adjust the quantity of chili flakes to taste for more or less heat.

Storage

Store the dip in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving again, give it a good stir; it can be served chilled or at room temperature. If thickened too much in the fridge, stir in a little olive oil or lemon juice to loosen it up.
