Cranberry whipped feta dip is made with 6 simple ingredients, an easy appetizer, perfect for any holiday or occasion, and goes great on charcuterie boards. 

In the past when I whipped cheese it was ricotta to make whipped ricotta crostini and honey whipped ricotta, but using feta is a game changer! It’s ultra creamy, not overly sweet, and can be served in so many different ways. 

When it comes to serving an appetizer spread, I love including spicy olives (also great if you are making a charcuterie board), gluten free flatbread, and stuffed dates.  

You can also use my homemade low carb chip recipe to go with feta dip to lighten the dish. 

Ingredients Needed 

• feta cheese
• yogurt – we used plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
• Garlic powder
• Olive oil 
• Black pepper 
• Dried cranberries – unsweetened

How to Make Cranberry Whipped Feta 

Add the feta cheese, garlic powder, Greek yogurt, oil and pepper to a high speed blender or food processor. 

Blend until the mixture is nice and creamy. 

Transfer to a small bowl and fold in the dried cranberries. 

How to Store 

Keep leftover cranberry feta dip in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. We do not recommend freezing this recipe. 

What to Serve With 

Crackers or Crostini:

Serve cranberry whipped feta with a variety of crackers or crostini. The crispiness of the crackers or crostini provides a nice contrast to the creamy texture of the whipped feta.

Bread or Baguette Slices:

Toasted slices of baguette or other bread can make a great base for spreading the cranberry whipped feta and are easy to serve for a crowd. 

Vegetable Sticks:

Include an assortment of veggies such as cucumbers, carrots, and celery. The fresh and crunchy vegetables complement the rich whipped feta well. 

Pita Chips:

Pita chips, whether store-bought or homemade, are excellent and add a little more flavor than plain regular crackers.

Substitutions and Variations 

Sweeter – if you would like to make the dip a little sweeter, drizzle some honey or maple syrup in with the other ingredients. Adjust based on your personal preferences. 

Cranberry sauce – combine all of the ingredients in the food processor except for the sauce. Blend until creamy. Transfer to a bowl, then gently spread the cranberry sauce over top. You can use store-bought jellied cranberry or whole cranberry sauce. 

Nuts – before serving top with chopped pecans, walnuts, or pistachios for a nice crunch. 

Cream cheese – swap the feta for cream cheese to make a totally different version. For vegans, use my homemade vegan cream cheese recipe. 

Spicy – add a dash or two of red pepper flakes. 

Herby – sprinkle in some thyme or rosemary. 

Citrus – a little orange zest goes a long way and pairs great with the tart cranberry flavor. 

Figs – similar to using cranberry sauce, you can spread my espresso fig compote over top.
