If you are looking for an appetizer that’s tasty and different, you will love this creamy Vegan Whipped Feta with Balsamic Strawberries Dip. The combination of vegan feta cheese with fresh herbs, balsamic glaze, and strawberries is to die for. 

I started making this vegan feta dip a few months ago after seeing a non-vegan version on Instagram. By making slight changes to veganize it, I landed a totally irresistible dip that’s ideal for dipping, spreading, or dressing salads, served with pita bread or toast. It also goes very well with vegetables and can be used as a sauce for pasta. 

The making of: Vegan Whipped Feta with Balsamic Strawberries Dip

We’re living in amazing times where there’s essentially a vegan version of everything. That is the case for feta cheese which is traditionally made from sheep’s milk, now there are so many vegan options!

Although you can make your own, for this recipe a store-bought block of vegan feta works best. My preferred one is Violife and it works great! However, if you can’t find vegan feta cheese, any other soft vegan salty cheese should work. 

To make this recipe, first, you’ll need to roast the strawberries with a mixture of balsamic glaze and maple syrup. This process really brings out their sweetness. This will make them soft and juicy; a new way to enjoy this delicious fruit! 

Meanwhile, start preparing the feta dip by whipping together vegan feta, vegan sour cream, and hummus; chill in the fridge. When the strawberries are done, allow them to completely cool down before adding them on top of the dip. Serve the dip on a serving plate or bowl, and top with strawberries, toasted almonds, and mint. If desired drizzle with olive oil for an extra flavor kick. 

You can use this dip in a myriad of ways. As I mentioned before, this dip can also double as a spread on a sandwich, a salad dressing, and a pasta sauce (minus the strawberries). But my favorite way is still as a dip! Serve with toasted bread, pita, and/or veggies.

As you see above, this Vegan Whipped Feta with Balsamic Strawberries Dip is the perfect recipe for when you have guests, because it is prepared in a few minutes with very few ingredients. You can also prepare it ahead of time and keep it well covered in the refrigerator until serving time.

How does it sound? It’s so easy that you don’t even need an excuse to make it! Just do it!

Strawberry Variations:

• Any other berry
• Roasted cherry tomatoes
• Roasted dates
• Artichokes
• Pesto
• Everything bagel seasoning
• Garlic confit

Notes:

• For the feta cheese, I’m using the Violife feta block. 
• If you’re making this recipe for an event, you can make the vegan feta dip and strawberries a couple of hours in advance; just make sure to keep them in separate containers until serving time.
• Leftovers? Store dip in an airtight container in your fridge for up to a week.
