If you’re looking for an appetizer that’s ridiculously easy to make but tastes like something you’d order at your favorite Mediterranean restaurant, this whipped feta dip is it. It’s creamy, tangy, garlicky, and perfect with warm pita, crackers, fresh vegetables, or even spread on sandwiches.
The first time I made this recipe, I got a little carried away with the garlic and used 6 cloves. While I absolutely loved the bold flavor, I know that’s not everyone’s preference! After making it again, I’d recommend using 3–6 cloves of garlic, depending on how much you love garlic. Three cloves give you a balanced, mellow flavor, while six cloves create a rich, robust dip that’s definitely for garlic lovers.
