Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Feta Base
- 200g feta cheese
- 100g Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Toppings and Garnishes
- 2 small cooked beetroots, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 3 tablespoons shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Prepare Whipped Feta: Add the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and minced garlic to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring the mixture is well combined and has a light, fluffy texture. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Assemble the Dip: Spoon the whipped feta onto a serving plate or shallow bowl. Using the back of a spoon, spread it out slightly to create an even layer.
- Add Beetroot: Scatter the diced cooked beetroot evenly over the whipped feta layer to add vibrant color and earthy flavor.
- Top with Dill and Pistachios: Sprinkle the fresh chopped dill and roughly chopped pistachios evenly on top for freshness and crunch.
- Finish with Olive Oil: Drizzle olive oil over the assembled dip just before serving to add richness and shine.
- Serve: Offer the whipped feta dip alongside warm pita bread or crackers for dipping and enjoying.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked beets to save time.
- For a creamier dip, add a splash more Greek yogurt.
- To enhance flavor, toast the pistachios lightly before adding.
