Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 1 cup roasted red peppers, large dice
- 16 ounces feta cheese, cut into large chunks
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (whole milk recommended)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the roasted red peppers, feta cheese, Greek yogurt, and granulated sugar into the bowl of a food processor.
- Pulse Mixture: Pulse the mixture for 10-15 seconds to roughly combine all ingredients.
- Add Olive Oil: Turn the food processor on and slowly pour in the extra virgin olive oil while it is running to help emulsify and create a smooth, creamy texture.
- Blend Until Smooth: Continue blending until the dip is smooth and creamy in consistency.
- Chill and Add Spice: Transfer the dip into a bowl, gently stir in the red pepper flakes if using, cover, and refrigerate for one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to chill.
- Serve: Serve the spicy feta dip with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or crackers. It also makes a tasty addition to gyros or wraps.
Notes
- For a milder dip, omit or reduce the red pepper flakes.
- The dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use whole milk Greek yogurt for best creaminess; low-fat options may alter texture.
- Roasted red peppers can be homemade or store-bought jarred peppers drained well.
- Adjust sugar amount based on personal taste to balance the feta’s saltiness.
