Ingredients for whipped feta
Its hard to believe that something so delicious is SO easy to make. Whipped feta dip is a recipe you can make year round but I have added a little festive flair to it by adding cranberry sauce & pistachios.
Find the ingredients below so you can make these:
Feta Cheese
Olive Oil
Greek Yogurt
Orange
Cranberry Sauce or Compote/Jam
Pistachios
Honey
My favorite food processor to whip this up in is one by Black + Decker - it is great quality and under $50! It is a must have in the kitchen in my opinion.
Feel free to substitute the cranberry sauce with another jam of choice- fig jam, apple butter, cherry jam- there are so many options to choose from!

Notes
You can make this dip up to 2 days in advanced! I would make the whipped feta and put it in an airtight container in the fridge. When ready to serve, add feta to a bowl and top with cranberry sauce, pistachios, honey so it is served fresh!
You can add on any jam you’d like! I added on cranberry sauce to make this festive for the holiday season and the sweetness of the cranberries pairs beautifully with the saltiness of the whipped feta
