Quick Mediterranean Feta Dip
This chunky Mediterranean feta dip is an impressive, last-minute appetizer that comes together in about 5minutes! It all starts with a block of creamy feta in the brine (not the pre-crumbled stuff!), with some chopped cucumbers, jalapeno for heat, fresh herbs, and bits of sun-dried tomatoes. If you need to work in advance, chop everything up and put the ingredients in a large bowl but do not mix them.Cover the bowl and store in the fridge for up to 1 night. When you’re ready to serve, just add the olive oil and honey and mix everything up. My favorite way to serve this is with a side of homemade pita chips.
