Avocado Feta Dip with Basil

 Avocado Feta Dip with Basil is a Mediterranean flavoured version of traditional guacamole! A delicious dip made with avocado, feta and basil.  Serve with crudites, crackers or chips at your next party.

Avocado Feta Dip with Basil is “Guac with a twist” according to my hubby! And that pretty much describes it perfectly.

While this party dip has some of the ingredients of traditional guacamole: avocado, garlic, jalapeño and lemon, it also has fabulous Greek flavours. Adding in feta cheese, basil, oregano and thyme gives this dip a Mediterranean flair.

Perfect for serving with pita chips, toasted flatbread and fresh vegetables!

And here’s another plus:  no cilantro! While I love cilantro and include it in many of my recipes, like my Quick Chunky Guacamole and these Six Fresh Salsa Recipes, this Avocado Feta Dip has none. So if your guests are not fans of cilantro, this may be the ideal dip for them!

While I’m a firm believer that guacamole should be included on every party menu, it’s fun to change it up once in a while. Adding Greek flavours to authentic guacamole gives an element of surprise with every dip!

Here’s your shopping list to make this healthy party appetizer. This recipe will make about one cup of dip. If you’re serving a larger group, double the recipe.
