Lady Diana's Feta Spread (Gluten-free/Dairy-adaptable)


This spread comes from my mom via her friend Diana.  For the feta lovers out there, this will knock your socks off!  I love it as a spread, dip and even salad dressing.  When you are mixing it up, you can just adjust the amount of time you blend it according to your needs.  You can also play with the mint here and use basil or some other herb of your choice.  For those who know me and already think I have lost my marbles with the Cilantro Pesto post, you will be further surprised to learn how delicious the mint is here!

I dare you to not want to eat it with a spoon and I double dare you to not just dip your fingers in it when your guests aren't looking.  Go ahead.
