Unless I’m somewhere down south where the weather is warm, January and February are the two months when I don’t really have the desire to have people over. I want comfort food 🍲, casseroles, pasta dishes and stews while wearing my big turtleneck sweaters, comfy pants along with my big slippers.
nbsp;
When we move on to March, that’s a different story. Like a bear, I slowly come out from my cave! I feel like entertaining again and having dinner parties. I want our friends and family over, make nice dishes, serve beautiful wines 🍷 and enjoy my time with them!

I always have a minimum of a 3-course menu: appetizer, main and dessert 🍰. I also like serving something to nibble on before dinner like bouchées aka bocas, amuse-gueule, hors d’oeuvres, and canapés. It can be Korean Meatballs, Olive Tapenade, Croquetas, Gougères, Crab Stuffed Mushrooms, and more.

Another “snacky” food 🥨 that falls into this category is dip! I think of Spinach Artichoke, Beer Cheese, Six Layer Chip Dip, Pumpernickel, etc. Here’s another one to add to this list… my Whipped Feta Cream Cheese Dip!

This is an amazing recipe to have on hand! Creamy with layers of flavor, this dip is a crowd pleaser! Not only is it incredibly yummy but also a breeze to make. Within 5 minutes ⏰, you’ve got yourself a nice dip… you can’t beat that!

Making Whipped Feta Cream Cheese Dip is so simple. The two cheeses along with garlic 🧄, Greek seasoning, lemon zest and juice, plus red pepper flakes are mixed together in a food processor. When it’s somewhat blended, extra-virgin olive oil is poured into the mixture. Processing takes maybe 2 to 3 minutes!

From there, it’s spooned into a serving bowl, spread out 🥄 evenly before creating some little swirls for the agave nectar or honey to pool in. For the finishing touch, finely chopped roasted red peppers and pistachios are sprinkled on top… tada!!!

Some might like adding red pepper flakes on top… I don’t! I prefer adding the spice in the mixture so it blends properly with the rest of the ingredients. That way, it’s evenly distributed and no ones end up with a bite of “hot” 🔥 while the other person has none.

Agave nectar vs honey 🍯…
We prefer agave over honey for one simple reason; it’s more neutral and less sweet than its counterpart making it friendly for those with diabetes. Also, I like its hint of caramel. On the other hand, honey is healthier 💚 because it’s primarily made up with fructose instead of glucose so it’s up to you which one to use!

Roasted red peppers and pistachios are sprinkled on top as finishing ingredients. Depending on the occasion or the time of year when serving it, you might want to switch for other toppings. Like during the Holidays 🎄, I like using chopped dried cranberries.

Served with crostini, pita chips, crackers or vegetables 🥕🥬, this Whipped Feta Cream Cheese Dip is a mouthwatering snack to make at your next dinner party! In 5 minutes, you have a delectable dip that everyone will enjoy!
Bon Appétit! 🍽
