Ingredients (~4-6 servings)
- 12 oz feta cheese block, crumbled or cut into 1-inch blocks
- 3/4 cup jarred roasted red bell peppers
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- Black pepper to taste
Drain and Prep the Roasted Peppers
Take the jarred roasted red peppers and drain them well.
Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture – this keeps the dip from getting watery.
Blend Everything in the Food Processor
Add the roasted red peppers, feta cheese, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and a few grinds of black pepper to your food processor.
Pulse a few times to break everything up, then blend until the mixture turns orange and reaches a fairly smooth consistency.
You don’t want large chunks of feta visible, but don’t over-blend it either – that makes the texture gritty instead of creamy.
Serve with Extra Garnish
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra olive oil.
Hit it with additional red pepper flakes if you want more heat, and chopped parsley if you have it around.
Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Dip
This dip takes about 5 minutes in a food processor and makes enough for a small group without having leftovers sitting around forever.
