We are almost officially saying goodbye to 2025, and I have to sneak in one last recipe to celebrate the new year — Greek Feta Dip. This is one of those sneaky good appetizers that is super simple to throw together but is packed with so much flavor and has the creamiest texture. This recipe feels fancy enough for entertaining but simple enough to make on a weeknight — no cooking required. We love this easy Greek whipped feta dip in our home!

What makes it so special? It starts with the base, which consists of feta cheese, cream cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. It is vibrant, fresh, slightly tangy, and perfectly creamy. Then, it is spread onto a platter and topped with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and olives (if you prefer), and drizzled with olive oil and spices. You get the freshness from the tomatoes and the crunchiness from the cucumbers and it just pairs so well with the creamy whipped feta dip.

I have shared a whipped feta dip recipe before on Modern Honey but I tweaked it a little with this recipe and it is just a dip you want to keep coming back for over and over again.

Greek Feta Dip Ingredients:

The base is a smooth, cloud-like blend of Greek feta and cream cheese, whipped with lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, basil, oregano, and a hint of red pepper flakes. It’s then spread generously on a platter and topped with a vibrant mix of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and optional olives tossed simply with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

• Feta Cheese: The star of the dip — it creates that signature Greek flavor. I like to use a block of feta cheese but you can also use crumbled feta cheese.
• Cream Cheese: Adds creaminess and helps make the dip smooth.
• Olive Oil: Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
• Lemon Juice: Brightens the dip and balances the saltiness.
• Oregano: Adds savory depth and warmth.
• Basil: Add freshness and color.
• Red Pepper Flakes: Adds a kick.
• Toppings: Tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, Kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, or salt for extra flavor and texture.

How to make the Best Whipped Feta Dip:

Step 1: Whip the Feta Cheese. Add the feta, cream cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to a food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. The texture should be light, fluffy, and spreadable.

Step 2: Prepare the Topping. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and olives (if using). Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 3: Assemble the Dip. Spread the whipped feta generously onto a platter or shallow bowl, creating swoops and swirls with the back of a spoon.

Step 4: Finish and Serve. Spoon the fresh vegetable mixture over the whipped feta. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and finish with extra herbs or red pepper flakes if desired.

Serve immediately or chill briefly before serving.

Tips for Serving:

• Use block-style feta for best creamy texture.
• If your dip is too thick, add a splash more of olive oil to smooth it out.
• Let the dip chill for 30–60 minutes to deepen the flavor.
• Top with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion and olives (optional) right before serving so the toppings stay fresh and pretty.
• Serve with warm pita bread or crostini for the BEST experience. I love the Cedar Valley pita chips from costco.

Frequently Asked Question’s:

1. Can I use crumbled feta instead of block feta?
   Yes, but block feta typically blends smoother and creamier.
2. Can I make this ahead of time?
   Yes! It keeps well and actually tastes better after chilling for at least 30 minutes.
3. Can I make it without cream cheese?
   You can substitute greek yogurt or ricotta for a slightly different but still delicious texture.
