EAST FETA DIP
Fresh feta, tomatoes, green onions, and some Greek seasoning wrapped up in a warm baguette makes this simple appetizer crave worthy.
This is a great last second dip!
HOW TO MAKE FETA DIP
First, start with a large platter and a cover it with a thin layer of olive oil. Next, dice up some tomatoes and slice some green onions. Kitchen scissors work great for slicing green onions…the only way to go.
Add some crumbled feta on top. I like to use a block then crumble it because it’s less dry. Athenos is a good brand.
Add some Greek seasoning here. Cavender’s is what I used – about 2-3 teaspoons.
Finally, mix it all together and you’re done. Serve this Easy Feta Dip with warm sliced baguettes. This is a must!
Thanks Clover’s Lane for this fresh and easy recipe.
If you want to add cucumber, it adds a great crunch!
Just dice up an English cucumber and mix it in.

Recipe Notes
Fresh feta that comes in a block is what is preferred here. It's a lot more moist. I like the brand Athenos. The precrumbled cheese is fine but a little more dry.

This is a great dip. I especially like it served over shredded lettuce as a quick lunch. I occasionally will add avocados. Delicious!
This is always a hit and my go to simple app to bring to any get together. I usually drizzle the top with a balsamic reduction sauce. Everyone loves it!
Yum. Great addition!
Hello, I would love to try this recipe but I don’t have greek seasoning. What can I use to substitute?
Here’s a sub for Greek seasoning.

This recipe is delicious! I am a huge tomato and feta cheese fan, so I knew I had to try it. But damn! I didn’t know it would be this good! My husband, (who’s not a fan of feta cheese) tried it and loved it! My new favorite dip! Thank you!!
You are welcome!
I’ve been making a recipe similar to this for years. But, I don’t add the Greek seasoning. If you find a great high quality feta cheese you don’t need it. This is dinner for my 12 year old! It’s a great staple.
Yesss!
What seasons can I use if I don’t have Greek seasonings?
I can never get enough of this dip. I get compliments like crazy and it’s fresh and easy.
Thanks! I need to make it.
Made this tonight but added cucumber, a little red onion and cucumber. Yum!! So fresh! Toasted naan bread into pita type. Omgoodness!!!
Thank you for the recipe!
Love those additions! I need to try them.
Took to parties twice; 1st as written, second time with one bar of softened cream cheese mixed with a little feta mixed in as a “base”. 2 people asked me to take what was left home with them and I obliged! Would add a little more balsamic drizzle next time. Used sea salt pita chips to dip.
Great tips!
I have made this dip many times and it is always delicious and a huge hit with everyone!
Thank you so much Sue!
I added a diced cucumber and this was amazing!!!
Cucumber is a great addition!
This is the yummiest recipe! I have made it numerous times. I actually started adding chopped cucumbers and Kalamata olives on top!
Ooh I bet those additions are super yummy!
I’ve made this and it is delicious. How about mozzarella and Italian seasoning for an Italian spin?
Have come back to this often, as it always disappears so quickly! I sub in fresh oregano for your spice mix, and add one or two minced cloves of garlic. So fresh and delicious!! Thanks so much for this!
Thank you!
i find it hard to print out these recipes – no print button to click???
Make this all the time! So easy & tastes fabulous, DO add the balsamic drizzle (makes a real difference in the taste)
I agree!
Is thus something that can be made the day before?
No. It’s best thrown together right before serving. You could prep the ingredients, keep them separate, then toss together.
This looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it!! Just an FYI…I was at our neighborhood grocery store (Ingles) the other evening picking up items for tacos and found that they sell pre-diced fresh tomatoes by the pint and half-pint! The prices vary by exact weight, but I purchased 2 pints for less than $4 and didn’t have to dice them for our tacos. This would be great for this dip also. 🙂
I do that sometimes. A great time saver!
Im wanting to make your dish just wondering if you have made it like a day ahead just for ease of organizing a party Thx
I think it gets to mushy made the day before. You can have all the ingredients ready separately, then throw together last second.
I love this recipe. I made it for my annual holiday party last year and it was a hit! In the times I’ve made it since, I’ve found that using a good olive oil makes a big difference. Like the author mentions, the block feta is much more fresh in my opinion. I also recommend starting with 1 1/2 tsp. of the greek seasoning and working your way up by taste testing. I made the mistake of adding too much at first and it was a bit too salty. As the rule of thumb goes, you can add ingredients but you can’t subtract! Thanks Christy, for sharing!
You’re welcome and thanks for the tips!
Ever since I found this recipe almost a year ago, I’ve made it dozens of times and loved it more each time. It is completely addicting! I like to eat it with lightly salted lentil chips, which are healthy and scoop the dip great. Thanks for the recipe/idea!
The Pinterest description has cucumbers included in the ingredient description. You don’t mention it here, but we peeled, deseeded and finely diced those too. It really elevated the dish.
We also couldn’t find Greek seasoning and turns out Italian seasoning has almost the exact same ingredients, so we used that. We made it ahead of time and let it set to meld the flavors. It was divine.
Thanks! The original recipe doesn’t have cucs in it but I bet it would be great!
Made this for a Christmas party, I loved that it was both red and green. Can’t say enough how much I love this, so easy, fresh and delicious.
I just made it tonight and forgot how much I love it.
How many does this serve?
Probably around 12…
Beautiful dish and so easy to make! I can’t wait try this 🙂 Thanks, Christy!
Made this with the recommended Cavender Greek seasoning. Made the mistake of not reading the label. Sooo much salt in ithe seasoning that the dish was inedible. Have since found a Greek seasoning with a fraction of the sodium and will try it again.
What greek seasoning did you find?
