Dip Ingredients
- 1 cup roasted red peppers, large dice
- 16 ounces feta cheese, cut into large chunks
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (whole milk recommended)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Add the roasted red peppers, feta cheese, Greek yogurt, and granulated sugar to a food processor to combine the primary ingredients of the dip.
- Pulse the Mixture: Pulse the food processor for 10-15 seconds to begin breaking down the ingredients and blending them slightly.
- Add Olive Oil: With the food processor running, slowly pour in the extra virgin olive oil to emulsify and create a creamy texture.
- Blend Until Smooth: Continue blending until the mixture turns smooth and creamy without large chunks remaining.
- Season and Chill: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, stir in red pepper flakes if you want added spice, then cover and refrigerate for one hour to let the flavors meld and the dip chill.
- Serve: Present the dip with fresh vegetables, crackers, or pita bread for dipping and enjoy as an appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For creamier texture, use whole milk Greek yogurt.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to taste depending on preferred spice level.
- Keep the dip refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for best freshness.
- Roasted red peppers can be replaced with jarred roasted red peppers packed in water or oil.
- Serve chilled for the best flavor experience.
