  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like a spicier dip, add red pepper flakes or some of the jalapeno seeds.

Notes

  • Whipped Feta Dip should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.   The Feta dip will stiffen slightly when refrigerated so let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or so before serving or microwave at 10 second intervals, about  30 seconds should do the trick.
  • This Whipped Feta Dip is fabulous to make ahead because it tastes even better as the flavors meld.
