Notes
- No food processor? No problem!
- Blender: Use a high-speed blender to combine the ingredients. Start with the softer ingredients like cream cheese and yogurt, and add the feta in smaller amounts to prevent overloading the blender. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
- Hand Mixer: Use a hand mixer with beaters on medium-high speed. Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to help create a smoother texture. This method might leave a slightly chunkier result but will still taste delicious.
