Just like my Whipped Miso Cream Cheese Dip, this sensational tomato feta dip begins by whipping feta cheese until it’s light, airy, and fluffy. From there, roasted tomatoes and garlic are placed on top to add a pop of red to every bite, not to mention the irresistible aromas and Italian flavors. You and your guests won’t be able to get enough of this Mediterranean appetizer!

Ingredient notes

Feta cheese – Use a block of feta cheese stored in brine. Crumbled feta is too salty and dry, and it doesn’t whip as nicely as the creamy and mild alternative.

Greek yogurt – Most whipped feta dip recipes are made with sour cream or cream cheese to help smooth out the dip. Greek yogurt is a lighter option that will still maintain the tangy flavors of the classic. The probiotics and protein are an added bonus!

Lemon – You need the fresh lemon zest and the lemon juice to help brighten every bite.

Oil – Extra virgin olive oil is best.

Roasted cherry tomatoes – Cherry tomatoes are roasted along with garlic, oil, salt, and oregano. You won’t be able to resist dipping your crackers and bread into this creamy dip once you add the irresistible ruby red and Italian-flavored topping!

How to make whipped feta lemon dip

Roast the tomatoes: Add the tomatoes and garlic to a baking dish and toss in the oil and salt. Bake in the oven until they’re very fragrant and the tomatoes have burst. Let them cool while you prepare the lemon feta dip.
Make the whipped feta dip: Add the feta, yogurt, lemon zest and juice, and oil to a food processor. Blend until smooth.
Assemble and serve: Transfer the whipped feta to a serving bowl. Top with roasted tomatoes and garlic, as well as any leftover oil in the baking dish. Serve with crackers and pita, then enjoy!

Serving suggestions

The classic way to serve whipped feta is as a dip with crudité, but did you know it can be used in all sorts of meals and appetizers? These are my favorite ways to use it:

As a dip: Serve the dip in a bowl surrounded by pita bread, naan, cut vegetables, pita chips, and crackers.
As a spread: Spread some dip on crostini appetizers or on toast with roasted tomatoes.
On vegetables and salad: Add a few dollops on top or on the side of roasted cauliflower or use it as a creamy dressing or garnish on this Greek steak salad.
With meat: This Mediterranean dip would be perfect on the side of Greek chicken kabobs.

Feel free to play with the toppings, too. Keep this dip on theme with its Mediterranean roots by leaving the juicy roasted tomatoes on top or switch it up and place kalamata olives, fresh herbs, red pepper flakes, chili oil, or chopped nuts on top instead.

Storing

Store: The leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

Freeze: I don’t recommend freezing whipped feta dip because the texture won’t be as smooth and creamy once thawed.

Make ahead: Roast the tomatoes and garlic, and whip the feta dip ingredients together ahead of time. Keep them in separate containers in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble and serve.
