Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 200 g feta cheese (drained and crumbled)

• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon basil

Recipe

• 1 for the spicy version: put feta, cream cheese, oil, garlic powder, sambal oelek and tomato paste with 100 ml of water in a food processor and combine to smooth.
• 2 for the mild version: put feta, cream cheese, oil, garlic powder, oregano and basil with 100 ml of water in a food processor and combine to smooth.
• 3 add more water for a thinner dip if you prefer, which is better for chips or veggies. it is better to do this after processing the dip as that some cream cheese types make for different results.
