This delicious Pesto Whipped Feta Dip makes a delicious spreadable appetizer that is great on fresh vegetables, pita, crackers, and fluffy baguette slices. It also makes an amazing sandwich spread!
Crumble an 8 oz block of feta into a food processor or blender. Mince 1 clove of garlic and add to feta. Pulse a few times to finely chop.
Add ¼ cup Greek yogurt and 1 TBSP olive oil and blend until smooth and creamy.
If you would like to thin the dip further, an extra TBSP of olive oil or yogurt may be added. Taste test and feel free to add any additional pesto desired.
FORK METHOD
Peel, smash, and mince one clove of garlic.
Finely crumble the block of feta into a bowl (freshly crumbled feta is much creamier than pre-crumbled feta) then add remaining ingredients, including garlic.
Use a fork to mash the ingredients together into a rustic-style feta spread.
If you would like to thin the dip further, an extra TBSP of olive oil or yogurt may be added. Taste test and feel free to add any additional pesto desired.
