A beige bowl filled with a thick, creamy orange dip spread evenly inside; the dip is topped with small crumbles of white cheese, tiny green herbs, and red chili flakes scattered all over. Two orange-colored chips dip into the right side of the bowl, coated in the same creamy orange dip.

Step 3: Turn the food processor on and slowly pour in the olive oil while it’s running.

Tips & Variations

For a milder dip, reduce or omit the red pepper flakes.
Try adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley for added freshness.
Use roasted yellow or orange peppers for a sweeter flavor variation.
If you don’t have a food processor, a blender or immersion blender will also work.

Storage

Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving. For best flavor, consume within this timeframe. You can enjoy it chilled or at room temperature.
