Ingredients You’ll Need:

For the Dip:

• 4 oz. cream cheese, softened

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

• Zest and juice of 1 lemon

• 2–3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)

• 1/2 tsp Mediterranean sea salt (Watkins brand or similar)

• 1/2 tsp dried dill

• 1/4 tsp Watkins Organic crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Whipped Feta Base

In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon zest and juice, salt, dill, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Blend until completely smooth and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and taste; adjust the lemon, salt, or spice as needed. For extra creaminess, add a little more olive oil and blend again.

Step 2: Chill

Scoop the dip into a serving bowl and chill for 15-30 minutes while you prep your veggies. This helps the flavors meld beautifully.

Step 3: Prepare the Veggie Topping

Dice your cucumbers and halve or quarter your cherry tomatoes. Toss gently with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

Step 4: Assemble

Remove the dip from the fridge and smooth the top with the back of a spoon to create swoops and swirls. Pile the veggie topping in the center. Garnish with more dill, a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes, and a generous drizzle of olive oil.

Step 5: Serve

Pair with warm pita bread, pita chips, crackers, or crunchy veggies. Then watch it disappear. 😋

Tips & Tricks:

• Use block feta, not crumbled—it blends better and tastes richer.

• Want it extra tangy? Add a touch of white wine vinegar.

• No dill? Try fresh parsley or mint for a twist.

• Make ahead: This dip stores well in the fridge for 2-3 days. Add veggies just before serving.

• Extra toppings: Olives, roasted red peppers, or a scoop of hummus can add even more Mediterranean flair.

What to Serve with Whipped Feta Dip:

• Pita chips or naan wedges
