Can I make Avocado Feta Dip ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this dip ahead of time! To keep the dip fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To prevent the avocado from browning, make sure to cover the surface of the dip with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the dip. This will help maintain its vibrant green color for up to 2 days.

Can I substitute feta cheese in this recipe?

If you're not a fan of feta or need a dairy-free version, you can substitute it with a plant-based cheese alternative or even Greek yogurt. While this will change the flavor profile, it will still result in a deliciously creamy and satisfying dip.

How can I make the dip spicier?

To add a bit of spice to your Avocado Feta Dip, consider adding finely chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of chili flakes. You can also add a splash of hot sauce to the mix if you prefer a more intense heat. Adjust the spiciness according to your taste preferences!
