Servings: 8
Ingredients
Cranberry sauce topping
- 1 cup cranberries
- 1/3 cup orange juice 100%
- 3 tbsp honey
Whipped feta dip
- 8 oz feta cheese block cubed or broken into pieces
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1 clove garlic
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- salt to taste
- 1/4 cup pistachios chopped
- extra honey for drizzling
Instructions
- First, start your cranberry sauce by adding cranberries, orange juice, and honey to a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil and then immediately turn down to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes until the mixture is reduced and jammy. If it's still too liquidy, continue simmering until it reaches your desired consistency.
- While the cranberry sauce is cooking, make the feta dip. Put feta cheese, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, garlic, olive oil, and lemon into a food processor. Process on high until the dip is creamy and fully blended. Scrape down the sides intermittently as needed. Add salt to taste if desired.
- In a bowl, add your finished feta dip, top with the cranberry sauce and then sprinkle with pistachios. Finish with a small drizzle of honey. Serve with crostini, crackers, sliced apples, or sliced pears.
