Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers, drained
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or cream cheese (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Drain the roasted red peppers thoroughly to avoid a watery dip. Crumble the feta cheese into smaller pieces for easier blending.
  2. Combine in Food Processor: Add the roasted peppers, crumbled feta, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice into your food processor or blender.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Pulse the mixture until it reaches a creamy consistency. For a chunkier texture, blend less. Add Greek yogurt or cream cheese if you desire an ultra-smooth finish.
  4. Season to Taste: Sprinkle in salt and pepper, then pulse briefly to combine. Adjust seasoning and lemon juice according to your preference.
  5. Chill and Serve: Transfer the dip to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Drain roasted red peppers thoroughly to prevent watery dip.
  • Use good-quality, dry feta for best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust creaminess by slowly adding Greek yogurt or cream cheese to your preferred consistency.
  • Chilling the dip enhances and intensifies the flavors.
  • Try using roasted yellow or orange peppers for a sweeter variation.
