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
Directions
Step 1
In a food processor or blender, crumble the feta cheese into small chunks for easier blending.
Step 2
Add the roasted red peppers (drain any excess liquid if using jarred peppers), Greek yogurt, and olive oil to the food processor.
Step 3
Peel and mince the garlic clove and add it to the mixture.
Step 4
Squeeze in fresh lemon juice for a bright and tangy flavor.
Step 5
Sprinkle in the red chili flakes, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor to ensure even blending.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
