Savvy Bites... Spicy Feta Dip

So... last week when I threw all the garbage that was in my head into a post about my life changing and possibly my blog, you all were so very supportive!!  I mentioned I was thinking about adding recipes to my blog and I had a number of loyal readers said they would be excited to try my recipes.  So I am taking a leap of faith and here it goes.

My mom and dad has some good friends in town visiting and invited us over for a dinner party.  I offered to bring an appetizer, but wanted to make something different.  I scrolled about Pinterest for a while a came across a feta dip.  I had never thought about using feta as a dip.  Feta is low in fat {something I am always up for} and it could go with pita chips and veggies.  

Here is what you will need

Ingredients 

8 oz feta, crumbled {can use fat free also}

1/2 cup skim milk ricotta cheese

1/3 cup EVOO

juice of 1 lemon

1/2 tbsp dried oregano

1/2 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes

2 garlic cloves, smashed

1 roasted red pepper, chopped {jarred, about 4 pieces}

water as needed

Print Recipe

Add feta, ricotta, garlic, EVOO, lemon juice, and herbs into a food processor.  Blend until smooth.  Add water as needed to make smooth.  Add roasted red pepper, and blend.  I have a very small 3 cup food processor... so I did mine in two batches!

Once all blended pour into a serving bowl and top with 1 tsp of olive oil.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.  I like to serve mine with pita chips, celery, and carrots.

It was a hit with my parents and their guests!
