Making this game-changing spread is so easy, and it’s truly a show-stopper. It can also be enjoyed as a dip or as the base for marinated chickpeas, crispy roasted potatoes, and so much more. The whipped feta brings rich smoothness, while the whipped yogurt brings its distinctively delicious tangy flavor. The result? A cheese spread that goes well on virtually everything.
You don’t need much
Check your fridge — feta? Greek yogurt? Now check your cabinet — olive oil? If it’s a triple-check, you have everything you need to make this feta spread.
Feta Cheese: Start with your favorite feta cheese. I recommend using a block of feta versus crumbled, which often has starch in it to prevent clumping and can give it a weird flavor. Greek Yogurt: Next, you’ll need plain Greek yogurt. This is the magic ingredient that turns the feta into a cheesy spread! Sometimes, this dip is made with cream cheese, but Greek yogurt provides a better texture and some added protein. Olive Oil: Use extra virgin olive oil to tie everything together. If you don’t have olive oil, just use whatever cooking oil you do have! Optional Add-Ins: For additional flavor, add some garlic and dried or fresh dill or fresh mint.
Let’s make it!
Few things are easier than this recipe. The key to an ultra-creamy spread is to let everything come to room temperature first.

Ultimate Vegetarian Cheeseboard: This can be made with plain feta, but why not try it with whipped feta?! Naan Bread: To add another element to your cheeseboard, you can include a few pieces of naan bread or pita bread. Beet Carpaccio: For a dinner party, I love to serve this beet carpaccio on top of whipped feta. The contrast of flavors and colors is magical and more exciting than just marinated tomatoes on top. On Chickpea Toast in place of the whipped goat cheese!
