I love this Feta and Red Pepper Dip recipe because it only has five ingredients, takes five minutes to make and it is a favorite that gets eaten up quickly!
Yep, you heard that right! It is pretty much an entertaining-at-the-last-minute miracle.
This Greek dip is another one of those recipes I learned in our Athens cooking class, so today I thought it would be fun for me to share the pictures that I took during the class.
Check it out!
We really had so much fun taking that class! This spicy feta dip recipe was the last one we learned, and it truly only took us five minutes to make it! I re-created it at home so I could test the recipe and snap some pictures to show you.
It’s as simple as tossing feta, roasted red peppers, olive oil, chili pepper, and salt into a blender or food processor and giving it a whirl. I used my handy small-size food processor, which was perfect for this quick job and doesn’t take up a ton of space in my dishwasher.
I brought this over to a family potluck with some cut up pita bread and let everyone else do the hard work! Okay, just kidding, I totally helped with the other stuff, too.
Oh, and I know I preached this pretty seriously in my Greek Salad post, but it’s really important to use high-quality Feta cheese. It makes all the difference in the world!

NOTES
If you liked this red pepper feta dip recipe, check out my Mediterranean board on Pinterest!

This was yummy! I made exactly as noted but used about 3/8 chili flakes as I like spicy, and the Korean spicy garlic condiment instead of oil and salt. My peppers were packed in yummy herb infused oil, so I only loosely drained them to retain some of their oil’s flavor. This is the first review I have ever written on Pinterest,but this was so good I had to post! I served with the soft naan dippers. Definitely a keeper.
I go to this foofoo restaurant and they sell this for $21 for 5 oz, I googled spicy feta and I mean this tastes IDENTICAL to the foofoo feta I cant afford! Amazing!
Hi Kelly,
I”m glad you found our foofoo feta recipe! 🙂

Just made this! So good!! Thanks for the recipe.
I have made this once before using macedonia feta, which is very creamy, real yummy. I also broiled my own peppers until there are some black spots, then cool and peel off the waxy skin. Put everything in blender and puree as in your recipe. Yummy with anything.
Do you add all of the oil that the peppers are packed in or do you drain them?
I drain them 🙂
Is it roasted red bell peppers? If not, can you give me an example of a brand pls? The ones I found online are out of stock at every store near me. Thanks!
Hi Kristin,
Yes, it is roasted red bell peppers. You should be able to find them near you. Brands I have used in the past include: Mezzetta, Mt. Olive and Delallo.
