If you are looking for a quick dip to make for your next holiday gathering or just because, you will love this! This ultra creamy Whipped Feta Garlic Dip is literally bursting with flavor! The tanginess from the feta cheese, the creaminess from the cream cheese, and zest from the lemon is a delightful combination.

Just look how creamy this dip is!

If I am wanting to make a quick and easy appetizer you can always count me in on making a Cheese Plate, some type of dip, or Pasta Salad. Those are my 3 go-to appetizers. This dip is SO simple and delicious you will be addicted, especially that it ONLY takes 5 minutes to make.

I like to drizzle a bit of olive oil, a sprinkle of chives and lemon zest to the top of my dip for additional flavor. Also, this dip is so bright and vibrant and is almost too good looking to eat.

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO WITH THIS WHIPPED FETA GARLIC DIP?

You can use this dip as a spread for wraps or sandwiches. This is a healthy (and much more tastier) alternative to mayonnaise.

This dip is so silky smooth I  didn’t even know feta cheese could get that creamy until this recipe! Use your favorite crackers and veggies to dip. I dipped into this dip with  fruit and nut crackers and baby carrot sticks!

Notes

*I highly recommend using a block of feta cheese and NOT feta cheese crumbles. The crumbles will not give it the same smoothness and flavor as most crumbled/shredded cheese are coating with a anti-caking agent such as potato starch and powdered cellulose. 

**The feta cheese already has salt in it so you do not have to add the additional salt and pepper but you can if you want more flavor. 

***If you want to spice this dip up, simply add 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoons of crushed red chili flakes to the recipe depending on how spicy you want it.
