Whipped Feta Garlic Dip

*This post has been sponsored by Hellmann’s Mayonnaise*

We’re all about this whipped feta garlic dip this Ramadan and here are about a million reasons why:

• It takes less than 5 minutes to make
• It uses one piece of equipment so less cleaning up
• It uses items you’ll already have in your fridge or pantry 
• It works well with just about anything: a sandwich spread, dunking your dates into, making bruschetta with or a condiment to your rice and kebab. 
• And of course, it’s tasty. 

Okay that was only 5 reasons but you get the picture. It’s a great dip and it’s also a great test of any relationship thanks to the healthy amount of garlic you’ll be dropping in.

We made sure to add the za’atar and aleppo chilli flakes as a garnish to help combat the creamy richness of the dip. If you don’t have these on hand, feel free to add any of these:

• Chilli flakes and honey – use as a garnish on top if you like the sweet and salty combo
• Dried oregano, dried thyme and lemon zest – you can add this into the mixture when blitzing it
• Roasted peppers – adds a subtle spice to the rich dip
• Toasted pine nuts
