This Spicy Feta Dip, which is Greek in origin, is a combination of Feta and Roasted Red Peppers with chilies.
I prefer to use Chipolte olive oil to drizzle on the top instead of the regular olive oil and cayenne powder.
It is yummy when served with toasted pita bread triangles, hummus chips or fresh vegetables…
and you have a quick and easy appetizer that’s sure to be a hit!
