Made with just six ingredients, this Spicy Red Pepper Feta Dip recipe is the perfect party appetizer. It’s full of flavor and tastes great with crackers or vegetables!
Hi Friends!
Time for another recipe refresh! I first shared this feta dip almost exactly 3 years ago and it’s still a favorite of mine! I made a batch the other week and decided it needed to be highlighted for those of you who might have missed it.
Here’s the back story on this dip –
One of our favorite restaurants used to serve a similar dip as a side when you ordered their hummus plate. Hubby and I loved to layer the hummus and feta dip on pieces of pita and enjoy as an appetizer so a few years ago I decided to try to recreate it at home. I’m especially glad I did now because they don’t serve it anymore!!
I had to guess on the ingredients and I really have no idea what was in the original restaurant dip, but this is a close replication so I called it a win!
Here’s how you make it:
PrintSpicy Red Pepper Feta Dip
Ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 small bulb garlic
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup cannellini beans
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta
Instructions
- Place the red pepper on a baking sheet.
- Cut the top off the bulb of garlic, drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil. Place it on the baking sheet as well.
- Roast the pepper and garlic in the oven at 400 degrees for 40 minutes.
- Let cool slightly, then cut the pepper to remove the stem, seeds and extra liquid. Add to a food processer and squeeze cloves of roasted garlic in as well.
- Add remaining ingredients and process until well combined.
- Taste and add additional cayenne pepper or feta if desired.
- If you want your dip a little thicker, you can add some extra beans!
Serve this at your next party and it’s sure to be a hit!
Enjoy!

I saw this on SC and was drooling–Ever since I traveled through Greece in my early 20’s I’ve been in love with feta. They serve these big slabs with blood red tomatoes and cucumbers for their greek salads. So yummy- this looks great Linds. Tailwinding. xo

this sounds awesome! i love adding beans in dips for an extra nutritional punch and the feta flavor would be delish!
We have been hosting so much lately, and I have been struggling to come up with good healthy app alternatives. This is so perfect!
I have the recipe pinned from the first time you made it, but still haven’t tried it myself! I think I need to change that this week!
Thanks for the reminder! 🙂
how dare you keep these in your archives for so long. Seriously I bet there’s a ton of gems still there!
This would be so tasty spread on a turkey sandwich! Love that it is made with greek yogurt 🙂
This looks really good! I love that there’s feta cheese in it.
I love when you can remake a fav from a retaurant!
I want to spread this on everything…or eat it straight from the spoon 😉
Oh wow this sounds amazing! some of my favorite dip ingredients all put together!
How long would this last in the fridge? there is only myself and my husband and I hate wasting food. It is graet recipe and one that would use especially for summer.

i’d say a week or so. you could always make a half batch!
this looks amazing! i can’t have dairy any ideas on what to use instead of greek yogurt?
you could try it just without the yogurt and add some extra beans!
What do you mean by “squeeze” the roasted garlic in?
you’ve already cut off the tops so if you just squeeze the whole bulb gently, all the roasted cloves will pop out!
Need to try this dip asap, it looks delicious!
