Creamy and tangy, this whipped feta cheese dip is perfect for snacking, dipping, or spreading on sandwiches. I also like to serve it with my air fryer broccoli. You can whip it up in no time, with just a few simple ingredients.

I use a food processor to make this dip. If you do not have one, you can use a blender or, alternatively, mash the feta cheese with a fork and then whisk in the rest of the ingredients until the dip is smooth.

You can make this whipped feta cheese dip ahead of time and keep it refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days. Once you are ready to use it, give it a good stir to smooth the texture.
