Greek red pepper dip is a traditional preparation with its roots in Mediterranean cuisine, especially in Greece, where fresh and healthy flavors take center stage. This dip combines typical ingredients from the region, such as feta cheese and roasted peppers, and is known for its intense flavor and creamy texture. In different Latin American countries, although it is not an indigenous recipe, it has been adopted under similar names like "red pepper and feta cheese dip" or simply "Greek dip," appreciated by those seeking light and tasty options to accompany tapas, vegetables, or breads.
The origin of this recipe can be traced back to the culinary traditions of Greece, where feta cheese, made from sheep's or goat's milk, is an emblematic ingredient, and the roasted red pepper adds sweetness and a smoky touch. Besides its delicious taste, it is a low-fat option, making it ideal for those who wish to watch their diet without sacrificing the pleasure of eating well.
