A creamy, tangy whipped feta dip blended with smoky roasted red peppers and topped with sweet honey walnuts, perfect for quick snacks or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
  • 4 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes, shaking pan halfway through. Remove and let cool.
  2. Drain and pat dry roasted red peppers to remove excess moisture. If using fresh, char, peel, and seed them.
  3. In a food processor, combine crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Pulse until creamy but slightly textured.
  4. Add roasted red peppers and blend until smooth and fluffy, scraping down sides as needed.
  5. Season with black pepper and salt carefully, pulse once more to mix.
  6. Transfer dip to serving bowl. Drizzle honey over the top and sprinkle toasted walnuts. Optionally add olive oil and smoked paprika.
  7. Let dip rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. Serve with pita chips, crusty bread, or fresh veggies.

Notes

Bring feta and cream cheese to room temperature before blending for smooth texture. Drain roasted peppers well to avoid watery dip. Toast walnuts carefully to avoid burning. Let dip rest at room temperature before serving to meld flavors. Can be made 24 hours ahead; add honey and walnuts just before serving.
