It’s official. I can’t keep this Greek Feta Dip with Pepperoncini in the house! Whipped feta, Greek yogurt and spicy pepperoncini combine to make a creamy, totally addictive dip that’s also gluten free and keto friendly. I mean, does it get any better? I think not.
What is in this feta dip?
This tangy dip is made with just a few simple ingredients:
- Quality feta cheese
- Cream cheese
- Greek yogurt
- pepperoncini
- scallions
- extra virgin olive oil
Just throw it all into a food processor and in just a few minutes it will be party-ready!
What to serve with this Greek Feta Dip
If you’re watching your carbs, gluten or following a keto diet, this dip is for you. You’ll find it so satisfying! Serve it as part of a crudite of fresh vegetables and olives. I also love serving it with grilled meats and fish.
If you don’t mind the carbs, go for fluffy pita bread. My recipe is here, or just grab some pocketless pita from the supermarket. I promise, it will disappear regardless of what you serve it with!
How can I make this feta dip lower in fat?
Lowering the fat in this Greek Feta Dip is easy. I’m a big fan of low fat Greek yogurt (2% or even 0% milkfat). Unless you’re making labneh or another recipe that puts the yogurt front and center, you can reduce the fat without sacrificing flavor.
Same goes for cream cheese. I almost always use reduced fat cream cheese in my recipes. You won’t be able to tell the difference, so save a few calories and go with the lower fat version.
So what about the feta? Here’s where I draw the line. Reduced fat feta cheese will not cut it here, my friends. The flavor will not be the same. So don’t do it.
Be sure to find the highest quality feta you can, in a solid brick (not crumbles), because this is what will give your Greek Feta Dip that tangy punch that we all expect from feta cheese.
