Feta cheese whips up into a smooth, creamy spread when blended with olive oil in the food processor. The Greeks like to flavor it with garlic, mint and pickled peppers to make a piquant dip for pita bread. Serve it with radishes and cucumber spears for dipping, too.

Fantastic mix of flavors
I made this dip on Memorial Day weekend for a poolside party and everyone loved it. It was an unusual mix of flavors that was unanticipated by most, but highly appreciated. It was fantastic with pita chips as well as celery sticks and baby carrots. The combo of feta, mint and pepperocinis is really vibrant.
