Notes

Use block feta cheese, not crumbled, as the texture and moisture content works best for this recipe.
Let the roasted tomatoes cool for 10 minutes before adding to the whipped feta or the dip will become too thin.
Crostini, crackers or tortilla chips work well as dippers. Carrot sticks and celery taste great too!
