Instructions

In a food processor with, pulse feta cheese chunks 8-10 times until it resembles small, coarse crumbles.

Transfer dip into a bowl and garnish with fresh cracked pepper and springs of herbs. Serve with chopped vegetables, pretzels, crackers, etc.

Notes

Dip can also be used as a delicious spread on toast, bagels, and crackers. If you refrigerate the dip, it will solidify. You'll need to bring it back to room temperature again and whisk heavily.
