πŸŽ‰ Introduction

Meet your new obsession: Seriously Addicting Avocado Feta Dip β€” a creamy, zesty, and flavor-packed spread that’s guaranteed to steal the show at any table. It combines buttery ripe avocados with tangy feta cheese, bright lemon, fresh herbs, and a hint of garlic for a dip that’s as refreshing as it is rich.

It’s the perfect appetizer, snack, or party spread β€” equally amazing with pita chips, veggies, crostini, or even dolloped over grilled chicken or roasted veggies. Every bite is smooth, tangy, and downright addictive.


🧰 Equipment Needed

  • Food processor or blender
  • Spatula
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Mixing bowl (if finishing by hand)

πŸ›’ Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • Β½ cup crumbled feta cheese (preferably block feta for creamier texture)
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for drizzling)
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (optional for extra creaminess)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional, balances acidity)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes or paprika (for garnish)

Optional Toppings: crumbled feta, olive oil drizzle, herbs, pomegranate seeds, or toasted pine nuts


πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Directions

Step 1: Prep the Avocados

Halve the avocados, remove pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor.


Step 2: Blend the Base

Add feta, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and Greek yogurt (if using).
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: For a chunkier texture, pulse lightly instead of blending fully β€” it’s amazing as a rustic spread!


Step 3: Add Flavor & Adjust

Stir in chopped herbs, honey (if using), and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Blend again until everything is well incorporated and silky.

Taste β€” add more lemon for tang, feta for salt, or olive oil for richness.


Step 4: Serve & Garnish

Spoon the dip into a shallow bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with red pepper flakes, extra feta, or herbs.

Serve with pita chips, fresh vegetables, warm flatbread, or crusty baguette slices.

    It’s best served chilled or at room temperature.
  8. Can I use lime instead of lemon?
    Absolutely β€” lime adds a slightly tropical brightness.
  9. Can I add spinach or kale?
    Yes, blend in a handful of baby spinach for color and nutrients.
  10. What pairs best with this dip?
    Pita, veggies, chips, grilled meats, or even as a sandwich spread.
