Notes

The liquid whey that is sometimes packaged with feta can be added to the dip but it is completely optional. It adds a bit more flavor.
Feta is naturally very salty, so we do not add extra salt to this recipe. Taste it at the end and adjust if needed, but usually, the cheese provides enough seasoning.
