Whipped Feta Dip with Roasted Tomatoes
Creamy, tangy whipped feta topped with burst cherry tomatoes and herbs
By RecipesQueen Kitchen • June 10, 2026
Summer dips are trending up 400% monthly as backyard gatherings ramp up. This whipped feta dip is the undisputed star of the appetizer table — impossibly creamy feta whipped with cream cheese and olive oil, then topped with jammy roasted cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of honey.
The texture is silky smooth, the flavor is bold and tangy, and the contrast of warm burst tomatoes against cool creamy feta is absolutely addictive. It's the kind of dip that people gather around and finish before the main course even arrives.
Serve with warm pita bread, crackers, or sliced baguette. It comes together in 30 minutes and can be made ahead — just add the warm tomatoes right before serving.
