- 8 ounces feta cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove
- 2 tbsp fresh dill
- 1 tbsp fresh mint
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
How to make Whipped Feta & Herb Dip
- Ensure 8 ounces feta cheese is well-drained. Crumble the feta into the bowl of a food processor or a high-powered blender.
- Add 4 ounces softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 small minced garlic clove to the food processor.
- Process the ingredients on high speed for 2-3 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, until the mixture is completely smooth, light, and airy. The dip should have a creamy, whipped consistency.
- Carefully transfer the whipped feta mixture to a medium serving bowl.
- Finely chop 2 tablespoons fresh dill and 1 tablespoon fresh mint. Gently fold these fresh herbs into the whipped feta using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dip.
- Season the dip with 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting if more is needed. Avoid adding salt as feta is already quite salty.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil over the top of the dip for a beautiful finish.
- Serve immediately with an assortment of fresh crudités like cucumber slices, carrot sticks, bell pepper strips, cherry tomatoes, or pita chips.
