Steps:
- Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl and use a small spoon to create a swirl on the surface of the dip. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.
- MAKE AHEAD: This dip can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. It will stiffen up in the fridge to a spread-like consistency, so be sure to let it sit at room temperature for about an hour before serving.
- To make the toasted pita wedges: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush the pita bread on both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cut into wedges, then arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes until lightly toasted.
- To make the toasted sesame seeds: In a small pan over medium heat, cook the sesame seeds, stirring frequently, until golden, a few minutes. Watch carefully as they are quick to burn.

GREEN FETA DIP
I bought some marinated feta at Eumundie Markets recently, and was VERY impressed, so I did what all cooks do, I copied it :) This is the basic recipe, you can add Parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts, or even chopped olives. you can use any pesto for this, I have tried it with sundried tomato pesto, and it was good, but I prefer the fresh taste of the basil pesto:) this will keep well in the fridge, and the flavours meld better if made the day before its needed. I have made this with soft greek feta, but I have to say I prefer the aussie feta, as it holds its' shape so much better. If there are any leftovers, you can use it as a base for Greek pizza...yummy

FETA DIP
This is a simple, fresh, and tasty dip. We were initially concerned it would not have enough flavor but boy were we wrong. The feta, tomato, and green onions are a perfect combination placed on top of olive oil. Greek seasoning just enhances the flavor and gives a robust flavor. We loved to soak up the olive oil with the bread...

Steps:
- 1. Cover your platter generously with olive oil.
- 2. Combine diced tomatoes, green onions, and Feta. Add on top of oil.
- 3. Sprinkle with Cavender's. This blend has some salt in it so taste to make sure you have enough but not too much for your family's palate.
- 4. Serve with sliced baguette for dipping. We usually use the baguette to pinch up some of the dip rather than spooning it onto our bread.

GREEK GODDESS DIP
This Greek goddess dip is stunningly verdant and has a bright herby flavor. The Greek strain in this dressing comes from using dill in place of watercress. Make it and watch it do a disappearing act on vegetables, pita chips or whatever conduit you can dream up.
