🍲 Ingredients

Authentic Greek Feta – You know I love my feta and anything Greek! To ensure you buy the best quality, look for feta made with sheep’s milk (and/or goat’s milk) that does not contain cow’s milk. Try to find feta made in Greece – the motherland of feta that delivers the real deal with authentic, tangy, creamy flavor.

Plain Greek Yogurt – This provides the creaminess you want while adding protein to this whipped feta spread, which will help you feel full. Greek yogurt creates the perfect smooth, light texture when whipped with feta and adds a subtle tang that complements the cheese beautifully.

👩‍🍳 How to Make This Whipped Feta Dip

1. Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut the half-head of cauliflower into medium to small-sized pieces. 
3. Transfer the cauliflower onto the baking sheet. Evenly coat with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
4. Bake for 20 – 30 minutes, until cooked through and golden. 
5. Allow the cauliflower to cool before using. 
6. In a medium-sized bowl, add the feta cheese, and break it into small pieces using a fork.
7. Add the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Using a hand mixer, whip the feta mixture until smooth and light. 
8. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in the fridge. 
9. As that sits, prepare the chopped parsley. 
10. In a medium-sized serving dish, thickly spread on the whipped feta.
11. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the dish to the desired amount.
12. Arrange the roasted cauliflower around the entire dish, garnish with parsley and the optional toasted walnut crumble.
13. Serve immediately with pita bread, toasted sourdough, or tortilla chips.

🪄 Tips and Tricks
