This Sundried Tomato Feta Spread is a vibrant twist on the classic feta dip that’s become a total staple in my kitchen. If you love feta but want something with a little more punch and richness, this version is for you. It’s creamy, tangy, a bit garlicky (thanks to those oil-packed sundried tomatoes), and absolutely perfect for scooping with fresh veggies, crackers, pita chips — or just slathering on a warm slice of bread.
The base is the same as my go-to feta spread: feta cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon, and herbs, but here we blend in sundried tomatoes and just a touch of their oil, which adds so much depth and Mediterranean flavor.
What You’ll Need
This spread uses a handful of simple ingredients, and you can tweak the amounts based on how creamy or tangy you like it:
- Feta cheese – the star of the show, crumbled
- Greek yogurt – for creaminess and balance
- Lemon juice – for brightness
- Chives + green onion – for herby flavor and a little bite
- Sundried tomatoes in oil – packed with rich umami flavor
- Salt & pepper – just a pinch to taste
This version makes enough for 4–6 people as an appetizer or party dip.
How to Make the Spread (Step-by-Step)
Start by crumbling your feta into a food processor or high-speed blender. Add a few tablespoons of Greek yogurt to get things moving — start with two, and add more later if you want a smoother texture.
Squeeze in a bit of fresh lemon juice, then toss in some roughly chopped chives and a bit of chopped green onion for that savory kick.
Now for the flavor bomb: add several sundried tomatoes, and don’t forget to drizzle in just a bit of the flavored oil from the jar — it makes a huge difference. Start blending, then stop and scrape down the sides.
Keep pulsing until the mixture becomes smooth but still has a little texture. Taste and season with salt and pepper. You may not need much salt since the feta is already salty.
Once blended, transfer the spread to a serving bowl and top with a little extra chopped green onion and sundried tomatoes or a drizzle of olive oil if you’re feeling fancy.
