Watermelon Feta Salad

Ingredients

  • fresh watermelon, diced small
  • goat's-milk or sheep’s-milk feta block, crumbled
  • avocado, diced small
  • cucumber, diced small

Directions

  1. Combine all
  2. Chill
  3. Serve

Notes
What you really want to look for is goat's-milk or sheep’s-milk feta, whether domestic or imported from Greece or Bulgaria, which should have a much creamier texture and a flavor that balances saltiness with the characteristic funk of sheep’s milk.

Roasted Red Pepper Whipped Feta Dip

Ingredients

  • 8 oz block of feta cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (sub plain whole milk yogurt)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • juice of a medium lemon
  • 4 oz jar roasted red pepper
  • optional drizzle of olive oil for garnish

Directions

  • Add all of the ingredients to the food processor. We recommend layering the block of feta and cream cheese block to begin. Following with the greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice and roasted red peppers.
  • Pulse everything together in the food processor. You are looking for a smooth, fluffy texture. Use a silicone spatula to scoop the feta dip out.
  • Serve with pita chips and veggies!

Notes

  • Also great as a pasta sauce or flatbread sauce!

  • How to store feta dip: Whether you're making this a couple days in advance of serving, or you simply have leftovers, storing this recipe is straightforward! It will last for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. We don’t recommend freezing this dip as the texture will change during the defrosting process.
