The ultimate dip that is salty, creamy, flavoured with lime, jalapeños, fragrant herbs and has an addictive crunch
Ready in less than 10 minutes with no cooking required, this creamy whipped Feta Crunch Dip is delicious when served with tortilla chips, flatbreads, breadsticks or fresh vegetables such as carrots and cucumber sticks.
What is different about this dip?
Feta is whipped with thick Greek yoghurt which gives it an extra creamy indulgent taste and texture. Chopped pickled jalapeños add just the right touch of spice, but the most exciting part is the chopped herbs and pistachios mixed through the dip creating the ‘crunch’. Each mouthful is layered with flavour.
Keep the crunch
After preparing the dip be sure to serve it immediately. After a few hours, the feta and yoghurt will naturally start to soften the pistachios, reducing their crunch value (although the dip will still taste amazing).
Olive oil
Olive oil is used twice in this recipe, blended into the dip and drizzled on top as a garnish. As this is an actual flavour of its own, it’s important to use high-quality, good-tasting oil. A regular cooking olive oil won’t give the right taste.
