Questions

What can I use instead of feta in Whipped Feta Dip?

The entry for Whipped Feta Dip calls for 8 oz block feta cheese, crumbled. In its place: Crumbled queso fresco or ricotta salata is milder but behaves the same. For dairy-free, crumble firm tofu and marinate it in lemon juice and salt.

Is Whipped Feta Dip spicy?

Moderately. The heat in Whipped Feta Dip comes from 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. For a milder plate, halve the pepper flakes; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.

Can I make Whipped Feta Dip dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (8 oz block feta cheese, crumbled, 4 oz cream cheese, softened) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free appetizer collection instead.

How many calories are in Whipped Feta Dip?

One serving (the recipe makes 6) is about 180 calories, with 10 g protein, 4 g carbohydrate and 12 g fat, plus 420 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

Can I freeze Whipped Feta Dip?

It is not a good candidate. Refrigerate Whipped Feta Dip in a sealed container for up to four days and stir it back together before serving.
