Honey Whipped Feta Dip

Feta dip in a bowl with honey and pistachios on top.

This Honey Whipped Feta Dip is so creamy and delicious. It’s a little tart from the feta and lemon juice, and a little sweet from the honey. It gets its creamy texture from being whipped with Greek yogurt and olive oil, and is made with no cream cheese. Serve with some crushed pistachios and more honey on top for a perfect bite.

Notes

Use good quality ingredients. Since there are so few ingredients in this recipe, using good quality will make sure it’s full of flavor and tastes the best it can.
Use a high powered food processor. This will help make sure it whips up nice and smooth, however it’s important to note that due to the feta's crumbly texture, it’ll likely still be a little grainy even after being whipped.
- If you want to get rid of the graininess, run it through a fine mesh strainer.
Make it thicker or thinner by adding more or less olive oil to your liking.
Add a little heat by adding some red pepper flakes, Calabrian chilis, or aleppo into the food processor as you blend.
To serve, warm up the honey before you drizzle it on top. Then not only will you have the sweet salty combination, you’ll also have the warm cold combination.
Don’t over whip in the food processor because it’ll get too thin.
