5 Minute Creamy Spinach and Feta Dip

Six ingredients, five minutes, one incredibly creamy spinach and feta dip. Just throw everything into a food processor and press go. This is one of my all-time favorite dip recipes for good reason. It's SO quick and easy, and always popular at parties.

Serve with a pile of fluffy focaccia or pita chips and watch it disappear.

Equipment

1 food processor or blender

Ingredients

For the dip -

200 g feta (7oz)
50 g cream cheese (2oz)
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups baby spinach leaves roughly two handfuls
Black pepper

To serve (optional) -

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped basil leaves
1 teaspoon chili flakes or red pepper flakes

Instructions

Make the dip.
Break up the feta and add it to the bowl of your food processor or blender along with the cream cheese, 2 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the spinach leaves, and a good grind of black pepper.
Blitz for a couple of minutes, until a smooth, creamy dip forms.
Garnish and serve.
Transfer the dip onto a serving plate or bowl, then drizzle with the olive oil. Scatter over the chopped basil and chili flakes, then serve with your favorite chips, bread, or crudites.

Notes

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS: This dip will keep well for 5 days in the fridge in a covered container. It does firm up after being chilled, so just give it a mix before serving. You can mix through a little more olive oil if you like.

INGREDIENT NOTES: I find that the dip doesn't need salt because feta is salty enough - but you can add a little if you like. Just taste it after blending before you add anything. I prefer using a food processor here as it's better at blitzing the dip - my blender tends to need a little more olive oil to get things moving.

SUBSTITUTIONS: You could use Greek yogurt, sour cream or creme fraiche in place of the cream cheese if you like.
