5 minutes, 4 ingredients, one totally delicious red pepper and feta dip. It really is as easy as throwing feta, jarred red peppers, olive oil and lemon juice into a food processor and blitzing until super smooth.

This is always the most popular dip at parties and it’s easy to see why. It’s creamy, salty, sweet, smokey and delicious and I promise you’ll love it.
Plus, not only does it work as a dip, it’s great on sandwiches, with barbecued meat, tossed through pasta or pasta salads…really the possibilities are endless with this winner of a dip.
Ingredients
You seriously only need four ingredients. Yup! I love how simple this dip is, it really couldn’t be easier.
- Feta. For ease, we’ll use a whole block.
- Red peppers. Again for ease, we’ll use jarred red peppers, but you could roast your own if you like.
- Olive oil. Try and use a good quality, extra virgin olive oil if you can.
- Lemon juice. This brings some welcome freshness and zing to the dip and definitely go for fresh lemon juice rather than from a bottle.
You’ll also need a food processor to whiz it all up!
How to make it
It truly is as easy as getting the feta, red peppers, olive oil and lemon juice into the bowl of your food processor and blitzing to combine into a smooth dip. Stop the motor and scrape down the sides a couple of times to make sure it’s all mixing evenly.


Then just transfer to a serving bowl and dig in!


Got a question?
You sure can! This dip keeps really well in a covered container in the fridge for 1 week. It’ll firm up a little when it’s cold, but just give it a mix as you’re going to serve it.
This is such a versatile dip! I love using it as a dip with crackers (try my sourdough discard crackers), homemade pita chips or crudites. But it’s also brilliant on sandwiches, with barbecued chicken, pork or steak, as a pasta sauce, tossed through pasta salad, as dressing for potato salad, as dressing for a slaw…the possibilities are endless.

Ingredients
- 200g feta
- 3 pieces of roasted red peppers from a jar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
To garnish –
- 1 piece roasted red pepper from a jar
- Handful flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon dukkah
Instructions
- Make the dip. Break your feta into a few pieces then add them to the bowl of a food processor along with the 3 pieces of red pepper, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Blitz for two minutes, until lovely and smooth. You may need to scrap the sides down a couple of times, depending on the power of your food processor.
- Make the garnish. Chop the red pepper finely, and tear the parsley leaves.
- Garnish and serve. Pile the dip into a small bowl and top with the chopped red pepper, parsley and finish by sprinkling 1 tablespoon of dukkah over the top.
Notes
You can make this up to 1 week in advance (I always do when I’m prepping this for parties!). Just keep it in the fridge in an airtight container. It will firm up a bit so just give it a little stir before you serve it.
The dip will keep in the fridge for a week in an airtight container.
I love serving this with homemade baked pita chips or easy sourdough crackers.
The garnish is a suggestion, you don’t have to add anything at all and it’ll still be delicious.
