Whipped Feta Dip

Cheese, glorious cheese! I'm sure I'm not alone when I say, I cannot go a single day without eating cheese...lots of cheese. It's probably my only calcium source next to leafy green veggies. Feta, Cheddar, Jack, Gruyere, Parmesan, Brie, Bleu Cheese, Mozzarella...you get the picture. Plain and simple, cheese just makes life better. 
This Whipped Feta Dip is heaven! It's creamy, salty, lemony and slightly sweet. It's so delicious that it would be great with just about anything. Throw it on cold sandwiches, or hot sandwiches like grilled cheese or a savory panini. Stuff it in a chicken breast with mushrooms or an omeletIt would be an incredible addition to a charcuterie plate or a veggie platter, the possibilities are endless. Or just, keep it simple and smear it on a cracker! Enjoy!
