- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed

Instructions

- Remove the garlic from the foil and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Cup of Yum
For whipped feta:
- Place the softened feta, cream cheese, olive oil, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor and pulse on high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Squeeze 5 garlic cloves out of their skins and place them in the food processor, along with the thyme and parsley.
- Pulse until the garlic is broken up and well combined. Save the remaining garlic cloves for another recipe or add a few more to the dip - up to you!
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
- Serve with fresh vegetables or pita chips.
- Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
