A quick and easy whipped feta dip paired with crisp spring radishes and cucumber slices, perfect for a refreshing snack or light appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: a pinch of dried oregano or fresh herbs like dill
  • 6–8 spring radishes, sliced thin
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
  • Optional: small handful of fresh herbs like parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Crumble 8 ounces (225 g) of feta cheese into your food processor bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, the minced garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. Pulse a few times to start breaking down the cheese.
  2. Run the processor continuously for about 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Stop to scrape the sides with a spatula as needed. The dip should have a spreadable, silky texture—not grainy or chunky.
  3. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste and, if you like, a pinch of dried oregano or a tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs like dill. Pulse briefly to incorporate.
  4. While the dip chills for 10 minutes in the fridge, thinly slice 6-8 fresh spring radishes and 1 medium peeled cucumber. Aim for uniform slices so they’re easy to scoop the dip with.
  5. Transfer the whipped feta dip to a serving bowl or plate. Surround with the radish and cucumber slices, and garnish with a few fresh herbs if desired. Drizzle with olive oil on top for a finishing touch.

Notes

If feta is too salty, soak it in cold water for 10 minutes before starting. Use Greek yogurt or sour cream for creaminess; dairy-free yogurt can be substituted. Avoid over-blending to prevent a runny texture. Slice veggies thinly for best scooping. The dip holds well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
