Delicious as a spread or dip.
Cayenne provides the heat while a little chili powder brings a simmering earthiness to this tangy and spicy feta dip recipe. We love feta dips for their versatility. Sure, use them as a go-to dip for fresh vegetables and pita. It pairs well next to hummus, tabouli, and baba ganoush on the appetizer table. But don’t overlook it as a spread for sandwiches. It not only works on gyros, it’s also very tasty on grilled vegetable sandwiches to provide some bold flavor to the meal.Â
