Save on Pinterest

This whipped feta dip with Greek yogurt is one of those classic, go-to recipes I make all the time, especially when there’s a loaf of fresh ciabatta from the bakery waiting to be torn into.

It’s simple, quick, and pairs just as beautifully with raw veggies as it does with warm bread or crispy crackers.

Whipped Feta Dip With Greek Yogurt - easy feta dip made with whipped feta and Greek yogurt, served with toast, pretzels, crackers and puff pastry sticks.

The best part?

It’s lighter than traditional feta spreads thanks to a generous scoop of Greek yogurt, which makes the dip creamy without feeling heavy.

Add a splash of lemon and some fresh chives, and you’ve got a dip that’s zesty, herb-y, and perfect for just about any occasion, from a casual Friday night to party platters!

How To Make This Whipped Feta Dip With Greek Yogurt

Ingredients You’ll Need For This Recipe

For the dip:

12 oz feta cheese (two tubes or blocks)
½ to ¾ cup of plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
3-4 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives

For serving:

Chips, toasted bread, puff pastry sticks, pretzels, or veggies like carrots and cucumbers

Step-by-Step Guide

3. Blend everything until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as you go.

4. Check for consistency – if your feta is quite dry, add another tablespoon or two of yogurt and blend again to loosen it up.

6. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

7. Serve with chips, toasted bread, puff pastry sticks, pretzels, or veggies like carrots and cucumbers.

Important Recipe Notes

Don’t add all the Greek yogurt when you first start blending the dip – start small and add more depending on how thick or soft you want the final texture to be.
Taste the dip again after blending and add more salt or pepper if needed.
The dip tastes great with
- Warm ciabatta slices or pita bread
- Crunchy raw veggies like cucumber, carrots, and bell pepper
- Pretzels, crackers, or breadsticks
- Spread on sandwiches or wraps
- Dolloped onto grain bowls or roasted veggies
The dip will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 2 days when stored in an airtight container.
