Whipped Feta Dip with Beets

Recipe Description

This super simple recipe for Whipped Feta Dip with Beets is a delicious Mediterranean-inspired snacking dip that relies on simple ingredients to deliver a big flavor. Creamy whipped feta cheese topped with quickly marinated beets and garnished with chopped pistachios and a sprinkling of fresh dill makes for the perfect party appetizer. I like it with fresh flatbread or whole-wheat pita.

Best of all, the recipe is simple and can be made ahead and will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When making this recipe ahead of time, prepare the whipped feta mixture and refrigerate it in an airtight container. Separately, mix the beets with vinegar, molasses, and oil in a bowl and refrigerate. Then, before serving, toss the beets with the marinade from the bowl. Finally, spoon the whipped feta on a serving platter and top with beets, pistachios, and dill, and it’s ready to be served and enjoyed!

To make this Whipped Feta Dip with Beets, you will need the following ingredients:
