Everyone loves a good dip, and this Herbed Feta Dip with lemon and a touch of honey is no exception!
Here's another delicious dip to add to my other favourites. My go-to dip recently has been Creamy Cannellini Lemon Feta Dip. We also love this Avocado Feta Dip with Basil and 5-Minute Bacon and Chive Jalapeño Dip.
You might notice a theme here . . . feta cheese! Feta adds so much flavour to a dip, whether you're combining it with yogurt, sour cream, or avocado. And when it's whipped with cream cheese, as in this Cranberry Jalapeño Whipped Feta Dip, it's light, fluffy and amazing!
But this week, I made this Feta Dip with lemon and herbs to go with a Greek-inspired meal. Surrounded by fresh veggies, it was a healthy starter!

Loved this dip! So much flavour! I liked it thick, but I also thinned it out with a little milk.
