Whipped Feta Dip
Simple whip together with quickly here--and you'll be looking for tons of ways to use this incredibly delicious blend of feta and garlic. I like to use a microplane grater for an easy and very finely minced garlic. Feta typically is sold in 7- or 8 oz. slabs; either works fine here. This recipe scales up like a dream.
