Notes
Storage
- Refrigerate leftover whipped feta in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
- Allow the feta to reach room temperature because this ensures the cheese will have a creamy consistency once blended.
- Make the feta up to 3 days before serving for easier hosting or meal preparation. Just give it a good stir and garnish when ready to serve.
- Use a silicone spatula to transfer the dip from the food processor or blender to the serving bowl. This allows you to get every bit of the dip without wasting any.
