Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why rinse the feta?

Rinsing removes excess salt from the brine, giving you better control over the final taste. Pat it dry well after rinsing.

→ Can I use crumbled feta instead?

Block feta works best as it's creamier. If using crumbled, reduce the amount slightly as it's often drier.

→ What can I use instead of hot honey?

Regular honey mixed with a pinch of red pepper flakes works great. Or try maple syrup with a dash of hot sauce.

→ How long does this dip keep?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Let it come to room temperature before serving.

→ What can I serve with this dip?

Try pita chips, fresh vegetables, crackers, or warm bread. It also works great as a spread for sandwiches.
