This roasted red pepper and feta dip, also known as htipiti, is one of those recipes that feels a little fancy but couldn’t be easier to make. Sweet roasted red peppers blend with salty feta, garlic, and a squeeze of lemon for a creamy, tangy dip that’s packed with flavor.

This red pepper and feta dip comes together in just minutes and is perfect for entertaining, snacking, or adding a bold spread to sandwiches and wraps. If you love dips that feel impressive but require almost zero effort (my favorite kind), this one is a must-try. It’s bright, savory, a little smoky, and just spicy enough to keep things interesting.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Roasted red peppers: A 12-ounce jar of drained roasted red peppers provides sweetness and a subtle smoky flavor. You can also use homemade roasted peppers if you have them.
Feta cheese: Crumbled feta gives this dip its creamy texture and signature salty tang. For the best flavor, use block feta and crumble it yourself.
Garlic powder: This adds savory flavor without the sharp bite of fresh garlic.
Olive oil: Helps create a smooth, creamy consistency and adds richness.
Lemon juice: Brightens everything up and balances the saltiness of the feta.
Dried oregano: Adds a classic Mediterranean flavor.
Crushed red pepper: Just a small amount gives the dip a gentle heat. Add more if you like it spicy.
Salt: Depending on your feta, you may not need much—taste before adding more.

How to Serve this Dip

This red pepper and feta dip is incredibly versatile! Here are a few of my favorite ways to use it:

Pair it with pita chips or warm pita bread
Fresh vegetables like cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes
Spread on sandwiches, wraps, or burgers
Dolloped onto grain bowls or roasted vegetables
Or try it on halloumi, red onion, and cauliflower, as pictured below!

Tips for the Best Dip

Drain the peppers well so the dip isn’t watery.
Use full-fat feta for the creamiest result.
If the dip is too thick, add a splash of water.
If it’s too thin, add a little more feta.

How to Store Leftover Dip

Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors actually get even better after a few hours as everything melds together. Give it a quick stir before serving, and let it sit at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes to soften the texture.
