Ingredients
8 oz feta cheese, organic block
½ cup pesto sauce (homemade or store-bought)
1 tablespoon raw honey
½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or vegetable stock for lighter texture)
1–2 cups roasted herb tomatoes
Chopped toasted walnuts
Honey, for drizzling
Fresh or dried parsley
Instructions
- Crumble feta into a food processor or high-speed blender.
- Add pesto, honey, and Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
- For a thinner texture, blend in a splash of vegetable stock or water.
- Spread the whipped feta mixture onto a shallow serving bowl or platter.
- Spoon roasted herb tomatoes over the center, sprinkle with toasted walnuts, drizzle with honey, and garnish with parsley.
- Serve immediately with bread, crackers, pita chips, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
For a nut-free version, replace walnuts with sunflower or pumpkin seeds or omit entirely.
Add cream cheese for extra creaminess.
Use plant-based feta and yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan option.
Enhance flavor with fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or chives.
Add crushed red pepper flakes or chili oil for a spicy kick.
