Ingredients
  

For the Feta Base

For the Sweet Topping

  • 2 tbsp Honey Optional for taste adjustment.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped pecans and toast them for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they turn fragrant and golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning, and once toasted, transfer them to a plate to cool completely while you prepare the dip.
  2. Next, gather your food processor and add the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt (or cream cheese), and olive oil. Pulse the mixture for 1–2 minutes until it becomes creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Now it’s time to create a beautiful presentation! Scoop the whipped feta mixture onto a serving plate, using the back of a spoon to form a lovely swirl pattern. Gently dollop the cranberry sauce on top of the feta.
  4. To complete your Cranberry Whipped Feta Dip, sprinkle the toasted pecans generously over the top. Garnish with your chosen herbs. Serve immediately with warm pita, crostini, or colorful veggie sticks.
