  1. Everybody loved this. I did add a dash of lemon juice and used some fresh oregano; I mixed it in the food processor. I made homemade pita chips and served the dip with them as well as carrots, zucchini, and celery.
     
  2. I made this last night to take to a friend's house as an appetizer and we all loved it. The garlic was really pronounced as I used a couple of huge cloves. I like things garlicky, so this worked for me, but next time I will try not to use ones quite so big. I made exactly as posted, including the Tabasco. We served over toasted garlic bread slices (DH said we kept the vampires away last night!). The dip was wonderful and I will defintely make this again. The four of us devoured the whole thing, so I would definitely double the recipe if you are hoping to serve more than 4. Thanks, Evelyn!
     
  3. I really enjoyed this dip. You may need to add more olive oil depending on your feta. Great afternoon snack and my toddler also enjoyed it.
     
  4. I used sriracha instead of tobasco, and also added about 1/2 cup deli artichoke salad with olives, onion, peppers, etc... Processed it all together with about 1/2 cup sour cream added to the recipe to extend the recipe a bit, since good feta is fairly expensive, and the flavor of the dip came out great! Served with pita chips.
     
  5. I made this for our 3rd of July party at my mom's house and used it to dip pita and veggies in. I started off using dry oregano as the recipe seems to suggest, and thought it was on the plain side so I added a small handful of chopped fresh oregano which helped a bit. Made for ZWT 4.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
