The New $3.99 Trader Joe's Find I Can't Stop Eating
Trader Joe’s newest dip is not just delicious, but incredibly versatile. The restaurant-quality spread is great as a topping on sandwiches and eggs—or enjoyed alone with some crunchy vegetables.


My love of feta began in college when I took a job at a local restaurant to make some money. I worked in the “back of the house,” (aka the kitchen) and spent most of my time on the cold line, which meant I made salads, along with some appetizers.
One of those appetizers was a crudités platter served with a variety of dips. There was an olive tapenade, a roasted garlic hummus, and my absolute favorite, a whipped feta dip. It was made by blending locally-produced feta with heavy cream and olive oil. The result was a creamy, briny dip that tasted perfect on just about everything.
It was so popular that the restaurant began selling it at local grocery stores. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon a version of my favorite dip during a recent trip to Trader Joe’s. Of course, I grabbed a tub of the new Whipped Feta Spread and went home immediately to try it.

Why I Love Trader Joe’s Whipped Feta Spread
After a quick review of the ingredients, which seemed small and straightforward, I hastily ripped off the lid. It looked smooth and creamy, and exactly like my favorite dip, but how did it taste? I swiped a carrot stick through, admiring the texture again before giving it a try. It was really good—as good as what I made at the restaurant!
The texture was as velvety-smooth as it looked and the flavor didn’t disappoint. It was creamy, sharp, and salty, but not excessively so. I kept scooping and enjoying, dreaming of ways I could use it, and before I realized it, I’d eaten half the container. I used it as a spread for sandwiches and as a topping for scrambled eggs. And it didn’t stop there.
Ways To Use Trader Joe’s Whipped Feta Spread
If you’re into salty and briny stuff, then you’ll love this spread. As I mentioned, there are plenty of fun ways to use it, even if it’s as simple as adding it to your favorite sandwich or salad. Here are a few more ideas:
- Top a pizza. I like adding dollops on top of my pizza before (and even after) baking in place of crumbled feta.
- Add it to pasta. Add 1/4 cup or so to a fresh tomato-based pasta dish for a bit of salty seasoning.
- Stuff it into a potato. Baked potatoes taste better with a tablespoon of whipped feta! It’s also a delicious topping for smashed potatoes.
- Invite it to the egg party. I mentioned adding it to scrambled eggs, but it’s also delicious with fried or poached eggs. A quick smear on top of an English muffin or piece of crusty bread is a delightful way to enjoy your favorite egg dish.
