Description

A bold and creamy Greek feta dip blended with roasted red pepper, olive oil, and chili flakes for a tangy, slightly spicy spread perfect for mezze platters or appetizers.


Ingredients

200 g feta cheese

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

1 roasted red pepper, peeled and seeded

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)

1/2 teaspoon chili flakes

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Crumble the feta cheese into a medium mixing bowl or food processor.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and roasted red pepper.
  3. Blend until mostly smooth, leaving slight texture if desired.
  4. While blending or stirring, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to create a creamy, fluffy consistency.
  5. Stir in the chili flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust spice level if desired.
  6. Transfer to a serving dish, smooth the top, drizzle with additional olive oil, and garnish with extra chili flakes before serving.

Notes

Add a small clove of garlic for extra depth of flavor.

Use fire-roasted red peppers for a smokier taste.

Mix in a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness.

Reduce chili flakes for a milder dip.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving and stir well.

Do not freeze, as texture may become grainy.
