Yummy! I ate it with some taco chips and ritz. Since I couldn't find tomato chutney, I subbed in Leggy Peggy's Tomato Chili Jam - fantastic! Made for PAC Spring '11

Other than using store bought tomato chutney, and 5 dashes tobasco. made recipe as posted. Really enjoyed the various flavors here with this dip, a feta cheese lovers delight. Enjoyed this with some triscuits during the basketball game, and a cold beer. Made for Recipe Swap #49..

This dip has a wonderfully creamy texture and nice fruity, spicy taste from the chutney. An interesting variation on the traditional chip or crudite dip! <br/>I used Mandy's Recipe #291528 for the chutney and somehow that turned out rather sweet, so next time Ill tone down the sugar in that recipe to make this dip suit our personal taste even more.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this nice dip with us, Peggy!<br/>Made and reviewed for Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap #48 January 2011.

This is A GREAT DIP & a wonderful addition to my finger foods buffet! I did leave out the Tabasco sauce, but another time might well add at least a dash of it! Served it with several different breads & crackers, & the one I liked best was a dense winter wheat bread! Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #20]

this was a great and easy dip that I served as part of a mediterean xmas party. I used my own hot tomato chutney, and left out the tabasco, as the chutney was hot enough! I will make this again, but I wont use the food processor. I find that feta can get a little "rubbery" when processed. Next time I will crumble the cheese and then mix thru the other ingredients. thanks for a keeper peggy.
