I don't know about you, but I'm always searching for new easy scrumptious vegan appetizers that I can add to my list. And I don't know about you, but dips are where it's at in my opinion. Have you tried all the dip recipes in Fast Easy Cheap Vegan yet? - I love dips!

This easy vegan whipped feta dip takes just 20 minutes to make (just 10 minutes to make if you have a high-powered blender)- great for last-minute company. Or you can make this dip ahead of time and store it in the fridge. It gets even creamier and better when chilled overnight.

But most importantly, this feta-inspired dip is TASTY!

I like to garnish my dip for a burst of pretty and an extra oomph of flavour. This time I garnished it with a drizzle of olive oil, some chopped fresh oregano, cracked black pepper, flake salt, and chili flakes. Feel free to garnish yours however you prefer or leaving it plain is totally fine as well. Some other nice topping ideas would be a drizzle of maple syrup, everything bagel seasoning, toasted sesame seeds, caramelized onions, or other fresh herbs.

How to make easy vegan whipped feta dip:

Softening the cashews (optional): Softening the cashews first helps them blend. If you have a high-powered blender you can skip this step, but if not, this step is important to get a smooth and creamy cheesecake layer. To soften the cashews add the cashews to a small pot, cover with water, and boil for about 10 minutes until the cashews are very tender. Drain and rinse cashews before using.

Add the cashews, ¾ cup water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, dried oregano, and salt to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy stopping to scrape the sides as needed. If your dip is too thick or difficult to blend, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time, adding more as needed until you reach desired consistency.

Serve you easy vegan whipped feta dip with a sprinkle of garnishes as desired, and a side of pita triangles, veggies, chips, easy vegan crackers, or crispy chewy vegan crackers for dipping. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. The dip will get slightly thicker once cooled.

Bon appetegan!
