Spring Fling: Whipped Herbed Feta Dip

A thick, zesty dip that is bursting with fresh Mediterranean flavor. So hard to resist and great for so many Spring ocassions.

Whipped Herbed Feta Dip

I have the perfect simple dip for you.  If you like feta cheese then this dip is going to rock your world!  Essentially it is a block of feta cheese that is whipped in the food processor along with fresh mint and parsley, some garlic and olive oil and a dash of lemon juice.  Serve this with Spring vegetables as I have done here or add some pita chips, smear it on a baguette, or your favorite dipper.

This dip is easy to make and something you want to have on repeat.  It's perfect for any Spring event, Mother's Day, brunch, graduation party, or casual affair.  It would be great used in salads, as a smear for sandwiches or bagels or with crackers.  I'd love to see how you find ways to use this scrumptious dip.

Enjoy!
