## Tips

- The dip is naturally gluten-free; choose suitable accompaniments if following a gluten-free diet.
- Variations for toppings include a drizzle of basil pesto, chopped parsley/chives and lemon zest, cracked black pepper and a drizzle of honey, extra virgin olive oil and sumac, or chilli oil/preserved chillies.
- The Creamy Whipped Feta can be kept covered in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Remove from the refrigerator about a half hour before serving as the cheese will stiffen.
- Do not freeze the Whipped Feta as it does not freeze well.
- Use good quality feta that is smooth and creamy. If using a drier feta, more cream cheese or olive oil may be needed to achieve a creamy blend.
- When removing lemon zest, avoid the white pith as it is bitter.
- If refrigerated, the texture will become firm. Bring to room temperature before serving.
