This Ajvar-Feta Dip Is a Must-Have for Your Next Barbecue

Avatar photoby Vanessa

Feta is a perfect base for flavorful dips and spreads. This time, we have a great recipe for a slightly spicy, creamy ajvar-feta dip. The magic ingredient: the famous vegetable paste ajvar from the Balkans!

Looking for a simple yet delicious dip that goes with many dishes and occasions? Then you should definitely try this ajvar-feta dip. The creamy and spicy sauce is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s for a cozy dinner at home, a party with friends, or as a base for your daily work sandwich. Let this fiery Balkan dip inspire you.

The ajvar-feta dip is a harmonious fusion of the spicy aroma of ajvar, the creaminess of feta cheese, and the heat of pepper, paprika, and chili flakes. It is an excellent accompaniment to crusty bread, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for grilled meat and fish.

The recipe is not only delicious but also healthy. Ajvar, a spicy red pepper paste, is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, while feta cheese is a good source of calcium and protein.

You might already have the ingredients for the ajvar-feta dip at home, except for the ajvar. You can now buy this in almost all supermarkets – in mild or spicy varieties, according to your taste. Then you need feta, yogurt, cream cheese, and the spices. The ingredients are simply mixed together, and the dip is ready.

The best thing about this recipe is that you can adapt it to your taste. For example, if you like it a bit spicier, you can add chili powder, or if you like it creamier, simply use more yogurt.

We love this creamy dip with a kick and can’t get enough of it. And that’s why we’re already planning our next sandwiches with this delicacy. Or the delicious tomato-walnut spread, a carrot dip, or the vegan white bean spread. Which dip will you choose?
