Three Delicious Feta Dips

All three Feta Dips will be a hit at your next party, just try them and you’ll see how fast they disappear.  Group them together and surround them with vegetables, pita, and crackers. Or try pairing them with their own special condiment. A fresh baguette or two alongside all three of these dips would be simple and delicious!  Either way, your guests will treated to something new! These dips make a beautiful cheese board, displaying them in small unique bowls. Along with the dips, add fresh pita bread cut into triangles and if more time is available toast them in the oven with extra virgin olive oil. Here’s a quick additional recipe for my Greek Salsa recipe with Toasted Pita Bread.

Making the Dips

Start with 1 cup of your favorite feta, crumbled. In a food processor combine the ingredients and blend using the on/off switch. Mix the ingredients until smooth, but leaving some small lumps if desired. When using this recipe you may also mix these ingredients by hand in a bowl.

I like to buy Feta in a large containers in brine and keep it in my refrigerator at all times. Always buy feta in brine, not pre-crumbled. It stays moist and fresh, and can stay for weeks in your refrigerator. Always, look for organic sheep’s milk feta, such as this one from Costco.

Three Greek Olive Feta Dip
1 cup crumbled feta
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup of pitted and chopped olives, Greek assortment
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Pinch of salt and pepper

Artichoke Basil Feta Dip
1 cup crumbled feta
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/8 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 small artichoke hearts in water, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh or dried Greek oregano
1 teaspoon fresh Greek basil, chopped ( regular basil can be substituted)
Pinch of salt and pepper

Spicy Jalapenos with Feta
1 cups crumbled feta
1/2 cup Greek plain yogurt
1/8 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2  green jalapeno, seeded
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
Zest of 1 fresh lime
Juice of 1-2  fresh limes
Pinch of salt and pepper

Note:  I found many of my ingredients at the local supermarket.

Check the deli section of the supermarket for the assorted Greek olives. Greek yogurt is in the dairy section. Ask for assistance to locate it.  Sour cream can be substituted. Try and use an extra-virgin olive oil for a deeper layer of flavor. You may want to substitute with a meyer-lemon flavored olive oil. Always use fresh herbs, often found above in the vegetable section. They are always available at your farmer’s market. Use fresh lemon and lime juice at all times.

Enjoy these feta dips,
