Notes
- Whipped Feta Dip will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
- Feta can vary greatly both in texture and in salt content. Try different brands until you find a favorite.
- Greek yogurt (or sour cream) and cream cheese round it out the salt in the feta. You can adjust the amounts to your liking.
- I like to top it with the warm tomatoes but honey & fresh thyme is another favorite.
