Ingredients
  

For the Dip
  • 8 oz Feta cheese Use organic block feta for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Pesto sauce Homemade or store-bought.
  • 1 tbsp Raw honey Substitutable with agave syrup for a vegan option.
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt Can swap with vegetable stock for a lighter version.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Roasted herb tomatoes Make ahead and keep them in the fridge.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped walnuts Replace with sunflower seeds for a nut-free option.
  • 1 tbsp Fresh or dried parsley Perfect for garnish.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • food processor
  • serving plate

Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice your tomatoes in half, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until they're golden and tender, about 20-25 minutes.
  2. In a food processor, combine the feta cheese, pesto, raw honey, and Greek yogurt. Pulse until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. If the dip gets too thick, add up to 2 tablespoons of water or vegetable stock.
  3. On a serving plate, spread a generous layer of the whipped feta dip. Top with roasted herb tomatoes, chopped walnuts (if using), and a drizzle of honey. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
  4. Pair your dip with tortilla chips, crackers, toasted bread, or fresh veggies like carrots and celery.
