Ingredients
7 oz / 200 g feta cheese (block, not pre-crumbled)
5 oz / 140 g roasted red peppers (jarred and drained, or homemade)
1–2 red chili peppers (adjust to taste)
1 ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar (or lemon juice)
1 garlic clove
Optional Garnish:
Crumbled feta
Fresh parsley
Red pepper flakes
Extra drizzle of olive oil
Instructions
-
Blend the ingredients:
In a small food processor, combine feta cheese, roasted red peppers, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and one chili pepper.
Blend until smooth and creamy. -
Adjust the heat:
Taste the dip and, if you’d like it spicier, add the second chili pepper and blend again. -
Serve:
Transfer to a serving bowl. Top with crumbled feta, parsley, a sprinkle of chili flakes, and a drizzle of olive oil. -
Enjoy:
Serve immediately with warm pita bread, crunchy chips, or fresh veggies.
Notes
- For a milder flavor, remove the chili seeds before blending.
- Add 1 tbsp of Greek yogurt for a creamier and slightly tangier version.
- The dip tastes even better after sitting in the fridge for an hour—allowing the flavors to blend.
- Serving suggestion: Pair with Greek salad, olives, tzatziki, or grilled halloumi fries for a complete Mediterranean spread.
