As always, I'm running late and forgot to make an appetizer for a house visit. How I'm always forgetting one last step or ingredient is crazy but apparently consistent for me. Well, this weekend we went over to our cousin's house and volunteered to bring over something to snack on. I had totally forgotten and looked in to the fridge to see what we could bring. Feta Dip!
I recalled this pin I saw and checked to see if I had everything. It was so simple, I thought for sure I would be OK. So if you have a bunch of feta in your fridge, good oil and garlic you can make the base of this easy dip. After those ingredients the rest is to get fancy!
 |
| It asked for 8 oz of feta. two cups was very close to the 8oz I measured on my food scale |
 |
| I used a ton of garlic, like three cloves. Recipe says to use only one but we love garlic! |
 |
| Add feta and oil to the mixer and go at it! I added half the oil in initially and then added more in slowly but ended up using it all! |
 |
| That's it! Simple right! The recipe calls for lemon but we thought it was already a bit sour. |
 |
| I cut up some cucumbers for a light snack |
Here's the recipe from SweetPaul.typepad.com
