Tomato Feta Dip (Quick & Easy)
Easy tomato and feta dip has just 4 ingredients and takes only 5 minutes to put together. This Greek inspired dip packs a lot of flavor into each bite and is a great addition to last minute gatherings and girls night appetizers. Serve it with toasted baguette sliced, soft pita bread, or pita crisps.
When it comes to entertaining at home, nothing beats an array of hors d’oeuvres, dips and spreads. And this appetizer dip has been satisfying guests for over a decade.
This is really less of a recipe and more of a layering of ingredients. It’s terrific for impromptu hosting, or a Greek themed dinner party. It’s a nice way to uplevel bread and olive oil dip too.
Why You’ll Love It
- Quick & Easy. Need a last minute party snack? This is your go-to solution! Make as much or as little as you need for a gathering of 4 or a party of 12.
- No Cooking. These are just good fresh ingredients layered together with surprising results! It’s also a good vegetarian choice.
- Delicious. Mediterranean flavors give this dip its amazing flavor. Salty feta cheese, fresh ripe tomatoes, and good extra virgin olive oil pack a punch.
- Customize. With this dish you can do it your way. The recipe card has amounts listed but that’s really just a suggestion. If you want more tomatoes, add it. More cheese? Put it on there!
I first got this from my girlfriend and shared it here in 2014. I was looking for something new and she told me this was always a winner. I wasn’t sure because it sounded too simple to be that good! I was wrong. This spread is amazing, especially if you like feta cheese which I love almost as much as I love cilantro. Which is a LOT.
Ingredients
- Tomatoes. You’ll need at least 2 tomatoes to cut and dice. I use Roma tomatoes or vined ripened. If it’s summer and tomatoes are in season I’ll use beefsteak tomatoes that are really flavorful that time of year.
- Feta cheese. Use a container of plain crumbled feta cheese. You could also use a block and crumble it yourself.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Cavender’s Greek seasoning. This al-purpose seasoning blend is my go-to for things like Greek burgers and other Mediterranean dishes.
- Dippers. Use pita bread cut into triangles for a soft dipper, and pita chips or pita crisps for something crunchy.
Additions
If you want to dress this up further you can add chopped green onion or chives, diced cucumbers, sliced roasted red peppers, or black olives.
Quick Tip
I recommend using the thin pita crisps as opposed to the regular pita chips. I think the regular ones tend to be too thick for this particular dip. However, homemade crostini is a fabulous base, too.
How to Make It
- In a shallow dish, pour a layer of olive oil just to cover the bottom.
- Cover that layer with feta cheese. Top the cheese with the tomatoes and sprinkle the Greek seasoning on.

I am all for any kind of appetizers you can put out that only require fingers! No forks! The Asian-style cheese spread sounds really unique and different! I haven’t seen anything like that before!
I’m with you on the finger food, Chloe. That Asian spread is so good. I probably never would have tried it just by hearing about it, but I tasted it and couldn’t believe how yummy it was.
