I made a reduced amount of this spread for our weekly appetizer night and wished I had made more. I did find it hard to make a spreadable consistency so added plain yogurt a tablespoon at a time to thin it a bit. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

Just fixed this for a snack and the flavors went very well together. My feta cheese was VERY dry so you could not spread the mixture. So I'd like to add some type of moisture, just not sure what to use to make it hold together. (Olive oil maybe?) We also enjoyed the sprinkle of cayenne pepper. Just a little hint of how I put this on cucumbers, I halved the cucumber then cleaned out the seeds, halved it again length wise and filled each quarter with the cheese mixture. YUM!! Thanks for a nice recipe. Made for Zaar World Tour 2006
