This creamy roasted red pepper and feta dip is an easy appetizer to make for parties.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 oz feta cheese block crumbled or cut into 1" blocks
- ½ cup roasted red bell peppers jarred
- 2 garlic cloves
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Drain and pat dry jarred roasted red peppers.
- In the food processor, add the roasted red peppers, feta cheese, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Blend the ingredients until the mixture turns orange and reaches a fairly smooth consistency, ensuring there are no large chunks of feta visible. Don't over blend the dip, as it will make for a gritty consistency.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and garnish with additional red pepper flakes and chopped parsley if desired.
