Print Recipe

A light, fluffy, and tangy whipped feta dip balanced with sweet honey and crunchy pistachios, perfect for easy entertaining and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (30 grams) shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • Fresh herbs (thyme, oregano, or dill), chopped (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: crumble the feta, mince the garlic, and roughly chop the pistachios and herbs if using.
  2. Place feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic into a food processor or blender. Pulse to combine, then blend continuously until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes, scraping down sides halfway through.
  3. Taste and season with freshly ground black pepper and more lemon juice if desired. Add extra yogurt or olive oil for creaminess if preferred.
  4. Transfer the whipped feta dip to a serving bowl, smoothing the top with a spoon.
  5. Drizzle honey generously over the dip, then sprinkle with chopped pistachios and herbs.
  6. Serve immediately or cover and chill for up to 2 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving for best texture.

Notes

Let feta sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before blending if too dry. Don’t skip the olive oil for silky texture. Serve at room temperature for best flavor and texture. Can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in the fridge.
