Spring Pea Feta Dip

Spring pea feta dip is a bright, creamy spread that captures the freshness of spring. It features a blend of tender peas, tangy feta cheese, lemon juice, and a touch of mint.

The texture is creamy with a little body from the peas, while the flavor is balanced between sweet, salty, and citrusy.

I love serving it at picnics or spring gatherings. It’s quick to prepare, budget-friendly, and uses simple ingredients you can easily find.

Pairing suggestions

• Crunchy pita chips or warm toasted baguette slices
• Fresh vegetable sticks like cucumbers, carrots, and radishes.
• Grilled chicken skewers or roasted salmon

Ingredients

• 2 cups frozen green peas
• 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 small garlic clove
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional for serving

Instructions

1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen peas and cook for about 2 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain well and let them cool for a minute.
2. Add the cooked peas, feta cheese, olive oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and garlic to a food processor.
3. Blend until mostly smooth. Scrape down the sides if needed so everything blends evenly.
4. Add salt and black pepper. Blend again briefly until the dip becomes creamy but still slightly textured.
5. Taste and adjust with a little more lemon juice or feta if you want extra brightness or saltiness.
6. Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle a little olive oil on top and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

• Frozen peas work best because they are sweet and affordable year-round.
• Do not overcook the peas. Cooking them briefly keeps their bright green color and fresh flavor.
• If the dip is too thick, blend in 1–2 teaspoons of water or olive oil until you reach the desired consistency.
• For a chunkier dip, pulse the mixture instead of blending continuously.
• The dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving.
