Avocado and Feta Dip
Creamy avocado, salty feta, and juicy tomatoes make this dip incredibly addictive! Use it as a dip for chips or enjoy it as a side dish with tacos!
This dip is simple to make but the flavor combination is delicious! My mother-in-law made a dip like this a few years ago and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head! I use a similar combination in these avocado salad sandwiches but I decided to create a dip version, too!
The combination of juicy tomatoes, salty feta, and creamy avocado is incredible. This recipe is easy to make and the measurements can be approximate. It’s really hard to go wrong with this set of ingredients! While we enjoyed it as a dip, you can also serve it as a side salad or on top of a toasted baguette.
What to Serve with Avocado and Feta Dip
- Tortilla chips
- Toasted pita or pita chips
- Cucumber slices
- Sliced bell peppers
- Slices of toasted baguette

How to Get Perfectly Ripe Avocados
I like to pick out avocados before they’re close to being ripe. Most of the time, if they’re already ripe in the store, they’ll be bruised by people squeezing them. To ripen them quickly, I keep them in a bowl with bananas. The ethylene gas released from the bananas will help soften the avocados faster. Once the avocados are soft, I put them in the fridge. This will keep them at their peak of ripeness for a bit longer!
Tips and Tricks
- The lime juice will help prevent the avocado from browning, but I recommend serving this within a few hours of preparing it.
- You can use larger slicing tomatoes instead of cherry or grape tomatoes. Simply chop them into 1/2″ pieces.
- When adding salt to taste, I recommend tasting the dip with whatever you’re serving it with before seasoning. For example, if you’re pairing this with tortilla chips which are quite salty, you may not need to add much salt at all. If you served this with cucumber slices, you may want to add a pinch of salt.
How to Store Leftovers
This dip is best served fresh. The lime will help prevent the avocado from browning, but it’s best to serve this dip within about 6 hours. I don’t recommend storing it much longer than that. If you do prepare it a few hours in advance, be sure to store it in the fridge.
