substitutions & variations
- Add a fresh topping: For a fresh twist, try topping the feta dip with diced tomatoes and red onions just before serving. You could also top it with a fresh salsa like pico de gallo.
- Cilantro: You can use ¼ cup (or about a handful) of fresh cilantro in place of the paste. You will just need to add a little more oil or water to thin it out.
- Garlic: You can use 1 tablespoon of fresh minced garlic in place of garlic powder.
- Make it not spicy: You can leave the jalapeno out but the flavors are designed to compliment the spice so it’s not as good without the jalapeno.

recipe testing notes
Throughout our testing of this avocado feta dip, we learned what worked and didn't work. Here are the key takeaways!
- I tried to make this dairy-free: I did test this by using both mayo and a plant-based yogurt in place of the Greek yogurt and a plant-based feta. It did not work. The textures were off and the plant-based feta doesn’t whip up like traditional feta.
- Adding water: Depending on if you plan to use this recipe as dip or as a sauce, you can add a splash of water to thin out the sauce. This won’t affect the flavor unless you add more than say ¼ cup of water, in which case just taste it and adjust with salt.

common questions
I love to serve this dip with tortilla chips or carrots! It would also be good with toasted bread, pita chips, bell peppers, and cucumbers. You can also try it as a spread on a bagel or toast or as a sauce on a grain bowl.
Yes, you need to have ripe or over-ripe avocados for this recipe. To make sure they are ripe, give them a gentle squeeze. They should have a slight give to them.
No, silly this is not guacamole! This has yogurt and feta to make it a super creamy avocado dip that shares some of the same ingredients as guacamole.
Nope, I have had it in my fridge for 5 days, and no sign of turning brown!
