This feta cheese dip is super-easy and very quick to make. Perfect as a snack before dinner or to bring along to a pot luck party. I usually add sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers (the ones in oil are the best), but you can add anything you feel like. I mix the ingredients with a fork because I like the chunky texture, and the rustic, homemade look the dip gets, but you can also use a food processor. As for the feta cheese, make sure you use one made from sheep’s milk. The ones from cow’s milk, (which isn’t actually feta), will not have the same creaminess and will lack the characteristic, sharp, feta flavor.
Delicious with crackers or with vegetable sticks.

Ingredients
1 block feta cheese ~90oz (250g)
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1-2 roasted red peppers or 3-4 sun-dried tomatoes (the ones in olive oil are the best for this recipe)
2 garlic cloves (crushed or finely chopped)
Cayenne pepper
Directions
- Mash the feta cheese with a fork and mix in the olive oil in a bowl.
- Add a slice of finely chopped, roasted pepper or a couple of sun dried tomatoes to add some flavor and a nice red color to the dip.
- Add a little cayenne pepper to make the dip just spicy enough, but forget about adding salt, as the feta is very salty itself.
