Ingredients
Scale
Feta Cheese
- 8 oz crumbled feta cheese
Roasted Red Peppers
- 1 cup chopped roasted red peppers
Fresh Dill
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Olive Oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Lemon Juice
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure your feta cheese is crumbled and your roasted red peppers are chopped into small pieces for easy blending.
- Blend the Dip: In a food processor, combine the crumbled feta cheese, roasted red peppers, fresh dill, olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if needed. You may want to add more lemon juice for acidity or a drizzle of olive oil for richness.
- Chill Before Serving: Transfer the whipped feta dip to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Notes
- Use Quality Feta: The quality of feta can make a huge difference; opt for a good brand or even make your own.
- Don’t Over-blend: For a chunky texture, blend just until combined rather than completely smooth.
- Chill Time: Allowing the dip to chill enhances its flavors and makes it even more refreshing.
- Pair with Fresh Veggies: Carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers make excellent dippers.
- Use a Garnish: A sprinkle of extra dill or a drizzle of olive oil on top makes for a beautiful presentation.
