"POV: I’m hosting a party and changed your life with this dip…
If there’s a sole reason I could never be entirely vegan, then it’s feta. it’s simply feta.
This dip is actually insane haha. between the flavors and textures… just wow.
Inspired by an appetizer I had at a restaurant recently, I took mine to the next level with some homemade hot honey (shout out to my sister for making it!) and toasted, seasoned pita bread.
You need this for your next party or gathering! guaranteed crowd pleaser."
