Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 2 medium roasted red peppers
- 60 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a food processor or blender, crumble the feta cheese into small chunks for easier blending.
Add the roasted red peppers (drain any excess liquid if using jarred peppers), Greek yogurt, and olive oil to the food processor.
Peel and mince the garlic clove and add it to the mixture.
Squeeze in fresh lemon juice for a bright and tangy flavor.
Sprinkle in the red chili flakes, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor to ensure even blending.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add a pinch more chili flakes for extra heat, or a little more olive oil for a creamier texture.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra olive oil on top for presentation. Optional: garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika or crumbled feta.
Serve immediately with warm pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
