Whipped Feta Dip Ingredients
- Feta Cheese - for this recipe you will need an 8 ounce brick of feta cheese. It should be drained and crumbled before adding to the food processor. You can also use the pre-crumbled feta cheese.
- Cream Cheese - full fat cream cheese is best, but you can substitute light cream cheese. The cream cheese helps to keep the feta dip super creamy.
- Yogurt - you can use regular or Greek Yogurt. Just be sure it is plain and not sweetened. Sour cream makes a great substitute.
- Lemon Juice - fresh lemon juice has the best flavor.
- Garlic - you will need about 1 small clove of fresh garlic. It’s best if you coarsely chop it before adding to the food processor so that you don’t end up with any large chunks.
- Salt - sea salt works great, or you can use another salt like pink Himalayan salt.
