This recipe for Whipped Feta with Honey Dip from Stacey at Southern Discourse is amazing. It’s got all the bases covered – sweet, salty, creamy, with some crunch from the pistachio topper. It’s perfect paired with pita bread or whole grain crackers, and makes a great appetizer. It also looks fancy but it’s a breeze to prepare, making it a slam-dunk for entertaining (or – let’s be serious – just a regular Tuesday night).
