Rich, salty and loaded with garlic, tomatoes, and topped with cilantro, this feta dip is the perfect summer appetizer.
I love the sharp, tangy, salty taste of feta cheese, it adds in so much flavor on its own. Then mixing it up with Greek yogurt, lemon juice and cream cheese just adds in even more tang. The dill and garlic evens it all out and the added tomatoes and cilantro on top are a bonus of tastiness. 
Serving this dip up with crunchy pita chips or crackers and veggies makes this a real winner of an appetizer. One that everyone will be digging into again and again until it disappears! I think putting out some celery stalks for spooning this dip into would be fantastic. Also, there are some great pita chips in the market now that can hold up to a thick hearty dip like this one plus they have their own wonderful flavors too.
Another gorgeous use of feta is a whipped feta. We have feta cheese almost always in the fridge, it keeps well in its brine for a long time refrigerated and has endless uses on salads, pizzas, meats, veggies and more! This dip can certainly stand on its own or as part of a trio of dips with hummus and tzatziki for a real Mediterranean feast.
