This Feta Pumpkin Dip with Basil Olive Oil is a creamy, savory fall appetizer that brings together pumpkin, tangy feta cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic, fresh thyme and lemon with the bright, herbaceous flavor of Basil Infused Olive Oil. A sprinkle of toasted pepitas adds just the right amount of crunch, while Horsetooth Chipotle Salt brings a subtle smoky finish that keeps the pumpkin firmly on the savory side.

Creamy without feeling heavy and full of those cozy fall flavors we start craving as the weather cools, this pumpkin feta dip is an easy addition to Thanksgiving appetizer spreads, fall parties, holiday gatherings or a Colorado game-day table. Serve it with warm pita, toasted bread, crackers or fresh vegetables for dipping.

If you think pumpkin belongs only in pie, this one may change your mind. The salty feta, basil olive oil and smoky seasoning turn it into a bright, savory dip that's just a little unexpected—and very hard to stop eating.
