Feta cheese combines with roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, green onions and hot sauce in this feisty Greek dip.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Our favorite Greek restaurant serves a Feisty Feta Dip that we order every time we eat there. We don’t order appetizers much when we eat out, but this is one we just can’t resist.
So of course I had to try I’ve tried making it at home. After several attempts, I think I’ve finally got it right!
This dip is a delicious combination of feta cheese, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts and green onions, with a bit of spice added for good measure.
You could certainly serve it at room temperature, but our favorite Greek restaurant serves it warm (with warm pita bread) and that’s how we enjoy it most too!
Best of all, it comes together in about five minutes in your food processor. Just be careful not to pulse it too much.
You still want to see some of those feta crumbles in the dip. And of course you can adjust the heat by using more or less hot sauce and cayenne pepper.
This dip is wonderful with any kind of pita or flatbread, as well as pita chips, whole grain crackers and veggies.
Anytime Greek food is on the menu at our house, this Fiesty Feta Dip is a must! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Be sure to save this recipe to your favorite Pinterest board for later.

I just had this for lunch at that same restaurant as a recommendation from our waitress. Holy Moly I could drink this stuff! So of course I had to come online tonight and find a copy cat recipe! I can’t wait to make this.
I love Erika’s post about making this a meatless monday meal. I’m stealing that idea! Thank you for making this!
