# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes literally ten minutes from start to finish but tastes like something you worked on for hours
  • The cream cheese trick makes it impossibly smooth without losing that authentic feta punch
02 -
  • The dip firms up in the fridge, so make it a bit looser than you think you need
  • Room temperature ingredients blend better than cold ones straight from the fridge
03 -
  • Use the small bowl of your food processor for better blending with small batches
  • Let the dip sit for 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld together properly
