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
