Notes
This whipped tofu feta recipe is a really great base recipe for other dips, or as a filling for all kinds of other dishes.
- Without Tofu - replace the tofu with vegan feta cheese. This will be much creamier but to me can taste a little artificial.
- Extra Garlic-add in fresh or jarred garlic for an extra tangy flavour.
- Chilli- add some chilli flakes to the feta while blending. Or some chilli sauce on top for a flavour contrast.
- Sun Dried Tomato Paste: Feta has an affinity with tomatoes, so add in some sun dried tomato paste for a different twist on this dip.
- Herbs: Try chopping dill, mint basil or parsley through the feta. Dill is particularly delicious.
