An Easy Mediterranean Appetizer
Easy appetizers are the name of the game for us. We learned the hard way that complicated dishes are not fun when you are trying to throw together a party. We much prefer to keep them simple, delicious, and just a few ingredients. Extra points if it can be made in advance.
Hint, hint – this Whipped Feta dip is easily prepared in advance.
If you love dip based appetizers that are delicious when spread on a cracker or as a dip for raw veggies then you are gong to love what’s coming up.

Whipped Feta Dip
I love feta cheese – we eat it all the time! Especially in greek salads or with roasted vegetables. However, I always found the flavor a little too strong to serve alone as a spread.
Then I discovered whipped feta and I fell in love with this dip! It’s a mixture of feta cheese, a little bit of cream cheese, greek seasoning, garlic, lemon and olive oil. What’s not to love right?
Super easy but so delicious! I served this to my family with a big Mediterranean inspired veggie platter and it was a huge hit. It was great on toasted pita bread, sliced cucumbers, with roasted red peppers and even on top of crackers with grapes and walnuts.

Notes
Whipped Feta with Hot Honey & Pistachios
We recently took this Whipped Feta Dip and elevated it even more with a drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey and a handful of chopped pistachios.
Blown away! It is so good and the Mike’s Hot Honey has become our newest obsession!
This looks so delicious and perfect for holiday parties. If I were to make my own greek seasoning, what it include? Thanks!
Great question Kathryn – I have a link to my favorite greek seasoning recipe (https://thedomesticdietitian.com/homemade-spice-mixes/) but it’s made up of garlic powder, onion, parsley, marjoram, oregano, basil, thyme, pepper.

could this be refrigerated after it has been made (for personal use rather than for a party dish) or would that be a bad idea after bringing to room temp?
