This Avocado Feta Dip is a creamy, tangy, and refreshing blend that combines the richness of avocado with the salty punch of feta cheese. It’s the kind of dip I love making when I want something quick, flavorful, and healthy-ish, with just a few fresh ingredients and almost no prep time.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this dip because it brings together two bold flavors—creamy avocado and salty feta—into one smooth and balanced spread. It’s perfect as a snack, a party dip, or even as a topping for toast, sandwiches, or grilled proteins. The texture is rich yet light, and the flavor is brightened with lemon and herbs. It also takes just minutes to throw together, which is always a bonus.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Ripe avocados
Crumbled feta cheese
Fresh lemon juice
Olive oil
Garlic (minced or grated)
Fresh herbs (like dill, parsley, or cilantro)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: red pepper flakes, chopped green onions, or a splash of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess
For serving: pita chips, sliced veggies, or crusty bread

Directions

I start by scooping the avocados into a food processor or mixing bowl.
I add crumbled feta, lemon juice, garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil.
I pulse or mash everything until it’s mostly smooth but still a little chunky, depending on the texture I want.
I season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs, then give it a final mix.
I transfer the dip to a bowl and top with a little more feta, herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Servings and timing

This dip makes about 6 servings and comes together in just 10 minutes. It’s ready to enjoy right away, no cooking needed.

Variations

I sometimes add a spoonful of Greek yogurt for a tangier, creamier texture.
For a spicy version, I throw in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a small chopped jalapeño.
If I want it more zesty, I use lime juice instead of lemon.
I’ve also blended in spinach or kale for extra greens and nutrition.

Storage/Reheating

I store this dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Since avocado browns quickly, I press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing the container. I don’t reheat this dip—it’s meant to be enjoyed cold or at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

I can make it a few hours in advance, but I recommend adding a little extra lemon juice to slow down browning and keeping it well covered in the fridge.

What kind of feta works best?

I prefer using block feta in brine because it’s creamier and more flavorful, but crumbled feta also works just fine.

Can I make this dip without a food processor?

Yes, I often mash everything by hand with a fork or potato masher for a chunkier texture.

What can I serve with this dip?

I like pairing it with pita chips, crackers, veggie sticks, or even spreading it on toast or inside a wrap.

Is this recipe vegan?

Not as written, since feta is a dairy product. But I can make it vegan by using a plant-based feta alternative.

Conclusion

This Avocado Feta Dip is one of my favorite quick recipes for something creamy, flavorful, and satisfying. It’s versatile enough for a snack, party appetizer, or even a sandwich spread. With its bold flavors and simple prep, I know I’ll be making this again and again.
