Key Ingredients to make this sun-dried tomato dip recipe

Feta Cheese

Feta cheese is perfect for this sun dried tomato dip! When blended, feta becomes smooth and creamy, creating a beautiful base for your dip while still maintaining a bit of texture. Feta’s briny, tangy flavor pairs perfectly with the rich, slightly sweet, and intense taste of sun-dried tomatoes. It balances the overall flavor and adds a bit of zest.

Sundried tomatoes

For this delicious appetizer, choose oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes at the grocery store. These are soft, flavorful, and ready to use straight out of the jar. The oil they’re packed in often contains seasonings like garlic, herbs, or chili, which can add extra flavor to your dip. Save a few for a garnish on top before serving. These jars of sun-dried tomatoes can be found in the pasta aisle. Pro Tip: Drain the oil slightly before blending, but you can keep a bit to enhance the richness of the dip. You can also use the leftover tomato oil in salads or pasta dishes.

Cream Cheese

Cream cheese blends effortlessly with other ingredients, ensuring the dip is velvety smooth. Make sure the cream cheese is room temperature before adding it to the food processor.

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is high in protein, lower in fat (if you choose a non-fat or low-fat variety), and packed with probiotics. It’s a healthier alternative to sour cream or mayonnaise, helping to lighten up this dip while keeping it delicious.

Lemon Juice and Zest

Lemon juice adds a fresh, zesty tang that cuts through the richness of ingredients like cream cheese, feta, or olive oil, making the dip taste more balanced and vibrant. The addition of zest gives it an extra punch of flavor and an irresistible freshness.

Garlic

Garlic has a bold, savory, and slightly spicy flavor that complements the tanginess of sun-dried tomatoes and the creaminess of ingredients like feta or cream cheese. It adds depth and delicious flavor to the dip.

Additional Ingredients

• Black pepper
• Crushed Red Pepper or chili flakes

Step by Step Instructions to make Whipped Sun dried Tomato dip with Feta

To make this creamy whipped feta dip, you’ll need to have a hand mixer, a food processor, or something high-powered that can whip that feta cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. The Feta is whipped together with cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and sundried tomatoes. It takes several minutes to get a smooth dip, but it’s all worth it in the end! Scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times between pulses.

Once the Feta Cheese is whipped to a consistency you like, add a little salt and some crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick, then add fresh dill. Feta is a pretty salty cheese, so you’ll want to be cautious adding salt.

To finish it off, place in a shallow serving bowl and top this delicious dip with some diced cucumbers and tomatoes for texture and crunch, and a little bit of olive oil. Make sure to have plenty of pita chips or plain crackers on hand for serving.
