SPICY FETA CHEESE DIP
This is best feta dip ever. It is so tangy and salty and completely addictive. People often comment that they would like to lick the bowl. Great on pitas, used as a dip, or alongside souvlaki.

SPICY CHICKEN FINGERS WITH FETA/BLUE CHEESE DIP
This was a recipe I created using the Ninja's competition. Our three ingredients were; Feta, Captain Crunch Cereal & hotsauce. I was able to incorporate all the flavors so you can actually taste every component... none is overpowering but actually complement each other!!
