How to Make This Pumpkin Feta Dip

Ingredients You’ll Need For This Recipe

For the dip:

  • 7 oz feta cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 heaping tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 ¼ cups pumpkin puree
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook over medium-high heat in a skillet for 5–8 minutes, or until crispy.

2. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and let it cool.

3. In a food processor or blender, combine the room-temperature feta cheese and Greek yogurt, blending until smooth and creamy.

Make sure to scrape down the sides of the blender/food processor a few times to get everything mixed evenly.

4. Add the pumpkin puree, salt, and pepper to the feta mixture.

Blend again until fully combined and silky smooth.

5. Transfer the dip to a large mixing bowl.

6. Stir in the chopped green onion and cooled, crispy bacon by hand.

11. Serve with crispbread, crackers, or fresh veggie sticks.

Important Recipe Notes

  • Make sure to use room-temperature feta, as it blends much more easily and gives the dip that ultra-creamy consistency you’re after. If it’s cold, let it sit out for 20–30 minutes before blending.
  • Homemade pumpkin or butternut squash puree works beautifully in this recipe, but canned puree is a great shortcut, too. Just make sure it’s pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • You can make the dip a day ahead and store it in the fridge. Just wait to add the toppings until just before serving for the best texture.
  • If you’re serving vegetarian guests, you can skip the bacon and swap in roasted chopped mushrooms or toasted pine nuts.
  • This dip pairs beautifully with seeded crispbreads, herbed crackers, or even sliced raw veggies like bell peppers and cucumbers.
