Can I make Whipped Feta with Honey Dip ahead of time?

Yes! Blend the feta mixture and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for about 15–20 minutes, then create the honey well and add toppings fresh.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days. Keep in mind, the honey may blend into the cheese over time—but it still tastes delicious.

Can I substitute the pistachios?

Absolutely. Try chopped walnuts, pecans, or even almonds. If you have nut allergies to consider, simply leave them out. The dip is still creamy and flavorful.

Can I use whipped cream cheese?

You can, but regular cream cheese gives a richer texture. If using whipped, the dip may be slightly lighter and softer.

What else can I serve with it?

Besides warm pita, try: Toasted baguette slices Pretzel crisps Fresh veggies Flatbread Even as a spread inside wraps or sandwiches It’s surprisingly versatile.
