Tips for the BEST Feta Dip
- If possible, use fresh ingredients! Fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and garlic is going to yield the best, freshest flavors
- I recommend using a block of feta cheese instead of crumbled feta- this type of feta will give a richer texture and will blend into a smoother consistency.
- Add toppings! Fresh herbs like dill, basil, or chives pack a flavor punch you’ll love. Topping the dip with an extra drizzle of olive oil or crushed nuts add great texture, too.

Recipe Details
Ingredients
- 4 ounces feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped dill
Instructions
- Add your feta, cream cheese, heavy cream, olive oil, and garlic clove to the blender or food processor. Pulse over and over in short bursts, wiping down the sides of the blender when needed. If it looks like it needs more liquid, add more heavy cream or olive oil.
- When the dip is well combined, add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh dill. Season with salt and pepper to your preference, then continue pulsing until entire mixture is smooth.
Notes
A half teaspoon of lemon juice and half teaspoon of lemon zest gives you a light lemon flavor. If you love lemon and would like it to stand out more, increase each to up to 1 teaspoon each. Please note: Lemon flavor will get stronger the longer the dip sits. If making several days ahead of time, start will less lemon.
