This Easy Feta Hummus dip is full of Greek-inspired flavor! Eat it with vegetables, sandwiches, salads and so much more. This healthy snack goes great with everything!
If you have been reading long, you know my husband, Mr. Maebell is a big duck hunter… which means most of the winter I don’t see him. Luckily, duck season ended a few weeks ago (THANK HEAVENS!) so it meant I got my husband back.
I am so enjoying him being around, but there is one thing I didn’t realize I had gotten used to – the food! I have enjoyed girly foods and meatless dishes for weeks, and now that my meat and potatoes husband is back, he is wondering what the heck happened! ha!
So while I guess I will have to get back in the swing of things, I am still trying to enjoy my girly foods every now and then. I whipped up this Easy Feta Hummus to snack on.
This hummus is so simple, just a few basic ingredients and about a minute of work give you a nice, fresh Greek-inspired spread! I spread this on toast and quesadillas in addition to eating it with crackers and veggies. It is the perfect quick and easy snack that is healthy, too!

How do you make homemade hummus with feta?
Fresh, homemade hummus tastes so much better than the store-bought variety–You won’t believe how easy it is, too! There’s no cooking involved, but you will need a food processor or quality blender.
All you have to do is place all of the ingredients into the food processor and blend until smooth. Seriously, that’s it!
Tips for the BEST feta hummus:
- Start with two teaspoons of lemon juice, then taste the processed hummus. If it needs more acidity, add another teaspoon.
- If you like your hummus to be ultra smooth, first blend the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and water. This helps reduce the garlic into super tiny pieces that easily spread throughout the entire hummus. After this combination is smooth, add the remaining ingredients and blend away!
- Add toppings! I love to add tomatoes (more acidity), olive oil, fresh basil, and more crumbled feta on top before serving. The presentation is beautiful, and it adds that extra punch of flavor to really wow your guests.
- Feel free to change it up a bit. Roast the garlic before adding it to add a deeper, richer flavor. Blend roasted red peppers into the mixture to add a kick of heat!
What are the best ways to use hummus?
I love this hummus so much, I could basically eat it by the spoonful, but your guests might look at you strangely if you start that habit. Instead, here are some great recipes to use up this delicious dip/spread:
- Obviously, you can serve it as a dip! I love making hummus and this delicious Keto Tzatziki, then setting out cucumbers, carrots, broccoli, green bean fries, and gluten-free pita bread.
- Spread it on a sandwich or a wrap! Add a healthy creaminess in this Veggies & Hummus Wrap or this lunchbox favorite: Turkey Hummus Wrap.
- Make Mediterranean Hummus Tostadas! This is the perfect recipe to turn to for that I-can’t-cook-another-single-thing-but-I-don’t-want-to-order-takeout mood we all get into occasionally.
- Serve as a side with a salad or thin it out as a dressing. These Healthy Greek Bowls are made so much better by adding a scoop of hummus! You could bulk up this Chicken Caprese Salad by adding a side of hummus and pita chips.

I love that they call opening day of deer season “deer widows weekend”. It just makes me laugh every year. Does your husband deer hunt too? Mine hunts just about any animal – duck, deer, rabbit, hog. And I kinda like when hes gone so I can eat what I want. ha! But it is nice to have them home. 🙂
Maebells says
He looks for any excuse to be outside! 🙂 Mainly duck and turkey though! If he had his way he would do it every day!
