Ingredients
For full recipe instructions and complete list of ingredients, scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of this page.
- Feta Cheese: The briny, tangy flavor of feta gives this dip its signature flavor.
- Greek Yogurt: I recommend full fat. Greek yogurt helps give this dip it’s smooth consistency and adds protein too!
- Pumpkin Puree: Canned pumpkin puree give this delicious dip a beautiful orange color, antioxidants and fiber.
- Garlic: Garlic adds lots of savory flavor to tie everything together.
- Honey: Honey adds a touch of sweetness to balance the salty flavor of the feta. Maple syrup works too!
- Salt: Just a pinch!
- For serving: Olive oil or extra honey for drizzling, fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped walnuts or pecans, crostini, pita chips, warm pita or your favorite crackers. Check out “Variation + Topping Ideas” for more ideas!
Variation + Topping Ideas
This pumpkin feta dip is so good on its own, but it’s even better with toppings. Here are my favorite combinations:
- Nuts and seeds. A drizzle of olive oil with pumpkin seeds and chopped walnuts.
- Classic. A drizzle of olive oil, fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme.
- Sweet and spicy. A drizzle of hot honey and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Fruity and festive. Honey, fresh rosemary and pomegranate seeds.
- Swap the cheese. Make it with goat cheese or ricotta cheese instead!
- Beautiful bites. Instead of serving as a dip, top individual crostini with 1 tbsp dip, a walnut half, drop of honey and sprig of thyme.
How To Make Pumpkin Feta Dip
- Add ingredients. Add all dip ingredients to a food processor or high speed blender.
- Blend. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Top with olive oil, fresh herbs or honey before serving.

JAMIE’S TipS
Tips for Success
- Don’t skip the garnish! This dip is even prettier and more delicious with toppings. Go with olive oil and fresh herbs or check out “Variation + Topping Ideas” for some suggestions.
- Mince your garlic. Even though everything gets blended, you still want to make sure you mince or microplane your garlic just in case. No one wants a giant piece of fresh garlic in their dip!
- Serve with hearty crackers. This dip goes best with crostini or a hearty dipper like pita chips or bagel chips. It’s also great with warm naan or pita bread.
- Blend blend blend. Make sure to blend until this dip is super smooth and creamy for the best results.
- Make it ahead. Give the flavors of this dip time to come together by making it a few hours before serving.
