Whipped Feta Spread Is Taking Over The World!
And honestly, I support this!
There’s a new whipped feta dip at Trader Joe’s that has everyone buzzing. It’s delicious. If you have a Trader Joe’s in your vicinity, it’s worth picking this stuff up.
And if you don’t – fun fact – it’s actually so easy to make this yummy whipped feta spread / dip / sauce yourself.
I’ve been making a version of this for years. Remember the meatballs with whipped feta? these chickpeas with whipped feta? and this flatbread / salad situation with a big shmear of whipped feta on top?
I’ve typically made mine with garlic in the past, but the Trader Joe’s one has no garlic! It’s just made with feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and olive oil. I love a simple power combo.
More ideas for using this:
- a chickpea flatbread
- a hummus bowl
- a mediterranean meal prep situation
- a naan-wich (can we make that a thing?)
- a buffalo chicken burger
Hope you love it! (I know you will.)
PS. Sauce is life. Here’s a list of my favorite sauces that make life better!
Frequently Asked Questions About Whipped Feta Spread
There are lots of ways to use this spread! Here are my go-tos:
– In bowls like these harissa meatballs or chickpeas
– Spread on sandwiches like this flatbread / salad situation or naan-wich
– As a dip for crackers, naan, or flatbread!
You need a soft / crumbly cheese to make this work best – goat cheese would be a good alternative!
I would keep this for 4-5 days in the fridge! The cream cheese keeps it pretty well stabilized.
Yes – ideally a smaller one so there is enough volume to blend it successfully. If you only have a larger blender, you can also just double the sauce amounts.
