Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Dip
Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Dip is super easy to make and really delicious. The three simple ingredients come together in no time for a great versatile dip or spread.
It’s time for another Freaky Friday with a super easy and delicious recipe for Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Dip from “Who Needs a Cape?”. In case you haven’t seen me post about Freaky Friday before, Michaela at An Affair from the Heart came up with the idea for this old-fashioned blog hop.
In a nutshell Freaky Friday is … I’ve made and shared a recipe from Who Needs A Cape? and they’ve made a recipe from someone (a secret that I don’t know who it is yet), and she’s made a recipe from someone, and if you clicked through all the way around all the bloggers involved, you’d get back to my blog. Thus, a blog hop! So, if you would be so kind as to hop around and take a look at everyone participating, I promise it’ll be fun, and you’ll get lots of new delicious recipe ideas! Scroll down to see all the awesome recipes!
I’ve participated a few times, and some great recipes have come from this event. I’ve shared Homemade Onion Soup Mix, Mexican Cheese Ball with Spicy Tortilla Chips, Peppermint Patties, and Homemade Baked Potato Chips.
Who Needs A Cape?
They are two moms who create delicious and easy recipes. I’ve known Lori at Who Needs a Cape for a long time via Facebook. And, I’ve recently gotten to know Heather as well. Both ladies are super sweet and they crack me up.
I think they describe their blog best, “Who Needs A Cape? primarily shares simple, easy to prepare recipes that our families have enjoyed. Additionally, we throw in the occasional cocktail or two and a dessert from time to time. Nothing complicated, we don’t have time for that.”
I had a really hard time deciding which recipe to share with you today. I mean, they have some awesome ones like {copycat} Chuy’s Creamy Jalapeno Dip Recipe and Raspberry-Lime Buttermilk Breakfast Cake, and they have a whole series of Freezer Meals. Hop over and take a look at their delicious and easy dishes.
Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Dip
I finally decided on the Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Dip partially based on how easy it was to make, and because it sounded really delicious. In addition, I love dips! One of my mottoes around here is, “that which does not get eaten, becomes a dip”. Pretty much any leftover veggie can become a dip. Any sauce is a great dip as well. So, any dip is a friend of mine!
After I made this (and ate a bit myself), I took it to a friend’s house for a small dinner get-together. It was a huge hit! Everyone loved it! And, I’ve actually made this twice now; it’s so easy & delicious!
Like they say on their blog, “this spread is incredibly versatile, you can use it on baguettes, pita chips, flat bread pizza, even pasta, the list could go on & on. And the amazing part is you can whip this up in no time flat and BAM! It’s done!”
I think this dip is so amazing – full of flavor and really impressive, but super easy to make. Shhh, don’t tell anyone how easy it is; all they’ll know is how delicious it is!
You could make this into a smooth dip by pulsing longer in the food processor. I like it left a little bit chunky. Your choice!

We are huge fans of the ladies behind Who Needs a Cape! This recipe is so simple, and so flavorful; it’s exactly what we find so appealing about their food. Thanks so much for sharing this yummy dip with us, we will be trying it soon!
diversivore says
The blog hop sounds like a fun way to interact with other great bloggers – and hey, you get to make good food too, so that’s a plus! I make my own roasted peppers every summer, and I’m always happy to figure out another way to work with them. I can’t say that I’ve ever combined them with feta though, so this sounds really interesting, and I bet the salty kick from the cheese works really well!
Luci {Luci's Morsels} says
You had me at feta and it just kept getting better. Yummy!
Just Jo says
Oh I would make myself sick eating *all* of this dip lol! I have had something very similar at a Greek restaurant I love in London and I’ve been looking for a recipe to make it at home. Thank you both for sharing it so I can gorge until my heart is content (and full of feta lol)

I love roasted red peppers and the flavors that they bring. I can roast them myself but when they come in a jar with a great brine I am even more excited. I can’t wait to try this one and see how those peppers play with the tangy feta dip!
