Avocado & Feta Dip
Posted by Katie on Sep 8, 2012 in Appetizer, vegetarian | 12 comments 
Looking for a healthy alternative to snack on this football season? This is the dip for you. Not only does it require very few ingredients but it takes less than 10 minutes to make start to finish. I love guacamole, but every now and then I want a different way to eat an avocado dip. I’ve kind of been on a feta and dill kick lately, so when I saw this recipe while browsing the web I knew I had to give it a try. I like to eat it with earthy multi-grain gluten free crackers where-as my husband enjoys this with tortilla chips. Whatever way you want to eat it is fine by me… just know that it is a bit addictive!

Directions

I love the idea of tangy feta mixed into guac! Such a great flavor combo.
Joanne–it is a great combo of flavors!
I believe I had this before, and LOVED IT… the flavors are totally unexpected! I think I need to make this
Yes, I agree you wouldn’t think to pair the two together.
This sounds awesome. I think the salty feta is a grand idea…I want!!
Cathy–go make it now!!!
Oh, I like the idea of the feta and avocado combination!
The avocado and feta create a good creamy base for all the other flavors to play on. Great recipe. Thx for sharing!
We like to add a little cheddar cheese on top of our guac and I LOVE feta…I can see this flavor combo being perfect. Looks great, Katie!!
Oh I never thought to add cheddar on guac. You guys should definitely give this recipe a try!
Great Recipe! I brought it to a “pink party” for friends that might not be able to tolerate spicy foods yet love the taste of guacamole. It was a real hit!
It’s an ideal recipe for a chemo cookbook-good colors that make you want to eat and wonderful flavors.
Hi Rachel, I’m so glad that you and friends enjoyed this dip! I love spicy foods but every now and then I want to eat something a little more toned down.
