Ingredients

Classic Green Goddess Whipped Feta Dip

  • 1/2 cup packed fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh mint
  • 1/3 cup packed fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup chopped chives or green onions
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 small garlic cloves
  • 1 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • Pinch of chili flakes

High Protein Green Goddess Dip Variation

  • 1/2 cup packed fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh mint
  • 1/3 cup packed fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup chopped chives or green onions
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 small garlic cloves
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup 1-2% cottage cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Pinch of chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Gather all fresh herbs, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, feta cheese, and yogurt (or cottage cheese for variation). Chop the herbs roughly and peel the garlic cloves for easy processing.
  2. Blend the dip: Place all ingredients into the bowl of a food processor or use a hand blender or high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
  3. Adjust seasoning: Taste the dip and add salt, pepper, or additional lemon juice if desired to suit your palate. Blend briefly again if you add any seasoning.
  4. Serve: Transfer the whipped feta dip to a serving bowl and pair with an assortment of fresh vegetables, sea-salted chips, or crackers as a delightful appetizer.
  5. Store properly: Keep leftovers in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator. The dip will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
  6. High Protein Variation: For a protein boost, use the cottage cheese variation following the same blending and serving steps. This version provides about 13 grams of protein per 1/4 cup serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor; dried herbs will not provide the same vibrant taste.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice and chili flakes to your taste preference.
  • This dip pairs well with raw vegetables such as cucumber, carrots, and bell peppers.
  • To keep the dip creamy, avoid over-blending which may make the texture grainy.
  • The dip can be made a few hours in advance to allow the flavors to meld but is best served fresh.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
