Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh cranberries (or 1/2 cup cranberry sauce)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Assorted crackers or bread for serving
Instructions
- Begin by placing the crumbled feta and softened cream cheese into a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gradually incorporate the fresh cranberries (or cranberry sauce), honey, lemon juice, black pepper, and garlic powder into the bowl. Mix until everything is evenly combined and the dip has a luscious texture.
- Sample the dip and, if you prefer a sweeter taste, stir in additional honey to suit your palate.
- Spoon the creamy feta mixture into a decorative serving dish and top it with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an appealing finish.
- Enjoy the dip right away with an assortment of crackers or sliced bread, or let it chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours to enhance the flavors before serving.
Notes
- For an extra zing, consider adding a dash of cayenne pepper or a few drops of your favorite hot sauce.
- Feel free to swap out the cranberries for roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes to create a unique twist on this dip.
