Whipped Greek Goat Cheese Dip

Written by Published on Updated on June 15, 2023 in Appetizers, Dips

Hello,

Dips, dips, and dips are the summer essentials for our summer BBQ tables.   Goat cheese dip have you ever tried it?  If yes, that’s fab but if not then here is your chance.  This Whipped Greek Goat Cheese Dip is a light and refreshing dip made with fresh herbs. The goat cheese dip has a smooth texture for dipping in your favorite crackers, fresh bread, and chips.  This dip is also a great spread on your favorite zucchini, tomato, or potato croquettes.

I made zucchini croquettes over the weekend as an addition to this dip.  I wanted something tasty that would give the croquettes an even more refreshing taste.  This dip was definitely the one, I added the classic fresh herbs dill, parsley, and chives.  Adding chives to this dip gives it a bit of an oniony flavor but not as strong as the regular red or yellow onion.  Plus I wanted a bit more green color in the dip and so chives definitely made a delicious difference.  If you’ve been following me for a while you might have noticed I tend to use leeks more than I do onions, this is why I love chives because their taste is similar to leeks.

When it comes to preparing these little treat dips I mean, I prefer to prepare them a day in advance.  I usually make three to four dips and even though these are simple recipes it does take a bit of time to put everything together.   When we are preparing to BBQ I think it’s better just to deal with preparing the meat, fish, veggies for grilling, and the salads.  I love my salads, I also prepared a Tune Pasta salad but I will share this with you next time.

If you love to try out new dips then try this Whipped Greek Goat Cheese Dip.

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
