In this section I am going to go through a few tips and tricks I use for how to make feta tomato dip to get the absolute best and most delicious results.

Ingredients + Substitutions
- Tomatoes – I use quartered (or smaller) cherry tomatoes because I love their bright, vibrant, and sweet flavor. If you prefer, you can use diced Roma tomatoes, beefsteak tomato, or grape tomatoes. Any kind will do the trick!
- Feta Cheese – For the best flavor and texture, I recommend using a whole block of feta cheese, then crumbling that with your hands. It’s creamier and richer in flavor!
- Green Onions – Be sure to very thinly slice the onions so that onion flavor incorporates throughout the dip without any big chunks. It should complement the other flavors, not overtake them!
- Greek Seasoning – I use Cavender’s pre-made Greek seasoning to keep it easy. It is usually pretty readily available at most grocery stores! Alternatively, if you’re feeling a little more ambitious, you can whip up a batch of my homemade Greek seasoning.
- Extra-Virgin Olive Oil – A drizzle of olive oil rounds out the brighter flavors in this dip perfectly.

Recipe Variations
If you love this recipe as much as we do and want some quick ways to change it up for variety, these little tips will do the trick!
- Baked Feta Tomato Dip – Make a baked feta dip by simply adding all of the ingredients to a baking dish, bake until the tomatoes are nice and juicy and the cheese is melty, mix, and serve hot!
- Feta Sun Dried Tomato Dip – Swap the fresh cherry tomatoes out for chopped sun dried tomatoes for a slightly richer flavor.
- Avocado Tomato and Feta Dip – Try adding a little extra creamy freshness to your dip with some diced avocado.
Recipe Step by Step
I am going to highlight a few key steps in the recipe here, but make sure to jump down to the recipe card for comprehensive instructions on how to make feta and tomato dip.
- Step 1– Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters or smaller,
- Step 2– Crumble the feta cheese, and finely slice the green onion.
- Step 3– Combine all three in a bowl, reserving 1 tablespoon of feta. Add on the Greek seasoning and olive oil.
- Step 4- Garnish the bowl with the reserved tablespoon of feta, then serve immediately or store in the fridge.
Recipe Tips
- Use a feta cheese block – I’ll say this again and again! The flavor and texture of a feta cheese block just can’t be emulated by the pre-crumbled feta you can find at the store.
- Chop the tomatoes small – I recommend chopping each cherry tomato into quarters so the tomato pieces incorporate well with the feta crumbles. Whole cherry tomatoes, although small, are still just slightly too big to create a uniform dip.
- Taste and season as needed – I find the dip to be perfect as-is, but feel free to play around with other seasonings as desired. Try adding some red pepper flakes for spice, a sprinkle of fresh black pepper, or even a little extra salt if you like a more salty dip.
Recipe Short Cuts
If you need to make this recipe, but are extra short on time, here are a few ideas that can help make this recipe even faster!
- Use pre-crumbled feta – I think it’s worth the extra time to manually crumble up a fresh block of feta, but if you want to save a little bit of time, feel free to use pre-crumbled feta instead.
- Prepare the dip ahead of time – There really isn’t a whole lot that goes into this recipe, so you can take a few minutes the day before you plan to serve it to just prep your ingredients and dump them in a bowl. That way, it’s ready to go when you’re ready to eat!
