8 oz tofu feta (prepare ahead)
2–3 tbsp plant-based yogurt
2 tbsp olive oil
1–2 tbsp lemon juice

2–3 tbsp chopped fresh herbs
1–2 tbsp olive oil drizzle
1–2 tbsp chopped pine nuts or crushed pistachios
½ tsp red chili flakes

Equipment

1 food processor

Directions

I start by preparing the tofu feta at least 24 hours ahead so the flavors have time to develop. When ready, I combine the tofu feta, plant-based yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt in my food processor. I blend until the mixture is fluffy and almost smooth, scraping the sides as needed. I taste and adjust any ingredients as needed, then optionally chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for better texture. Finally, I serve it garnished with olive oil, fresh herbs, nuts, or chili flakes alongside roasted tomatoes or crudités

Servings and timing

This dip makes enough to serve about 8 people and only takes about 10 minutes total—5 minutes to prep and 5 minutes to blend

Variations

I sometimes experiment with different flavor twists:

I swap plain dairy-free yogurt for vegan sour cream or cream cheese when I want extra tang and creaminess
I’ll add fresh or roasted garlic for a bolder flavor
I sometimes garnish with toasted pine nuts, chopped olives, or sundried tomatoes for texture and visual appeal
For a smoky touch, I’ll sprinkle in smoked paprika or za’atar

Storage/reheating

I store this dip in an airtight container in the fridge, where it keeps for 4–5 daysor up to a week with variations I can also freeze individual portions for up to 3 months; when ready to serve, I thaw them overnight in the fridge and whisk well to restore the creamy texture

FAQs

Is this dip gluten-free and allergen-friendly?

Yes—since it’s made with tofu and natural ingredients, it’s naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan

Can I refrigerate this dip overnight for better flavor?

Absolutely. I find that chilling overnight helps deepen and stabilize the flavors

Can I make this recipe oil-free?

Yes—I can omit the olive oil if needed, though the misture may be less stable and better consumed more quickly

Can I freeze this whipped dip?

Yes—I freeze portions in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight and whisk before serving

What are some great ways to serve it?

I enjoy serving it with crudités, pita chips, toasted bread, or as part of a dip board, often with roasted tomatoes or fresh basil on top

Why is the dip grainy sometimes?

Since feta and tofu can be slightly crumbly, the texture might be grainy. I usually prefer that rustic feel, but I can also run it through a fine sieve for super smooth texture

Can I adjust the tanginess?

Definitely. I adjust lemon juice or salt to taste after blending for the right balance

Can I use extras like olives or roasted veggies?

Yes! I love folding in olives, roasted garlic, or sun‑dried tomato paste for extra depth

What kind of tofu works best?

Extra-firm tofu or tofu feta works best for a sturdy, creamy dip. Softer tofu tends to be too watery

Can I skip the yogurt?

I can, though yogurt adds creaminess and tang. I might replace it with vegan sour cream or cream cheese for similar richness
