A little love letter
Dear whipped feta,
Feta and olive oil, whipped until they forget they were ever crumbly. That’s you. Salty, tangy, cloud-soft, and somehow so much more than two ingredients should ever be.
On top, a little rainbow. Cucumber, tiny tomatoes, sweet peas, radishes, carrot, all chopped small and tossed with dill, chives and more good olive oil. It looks like a painter’s palette and tastes like the first really warm week of summer.
You’re my favorite thing to put in the middle of the table when people are coming over and I don’t feel like cooking. A loaf of bread, a bottle of something cold, and everyone just digs in with whatever they can tear off. Easy, pretty, gone way too fast.
Let’s make this piece of happinessxo, Kimberly

Hi, I’m Kimberly. The kitchen is my happy place, and everything that turns out really good there ends up here. Including the little tricks I’d usually only tell my friends. more about me
prep the vegetables
Thoroughly wash the cucumber, carrot, tomatoes, radishes, dill, and chives. Peel the cucumber and carrot and cut them into fine strips, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the radishes thinly, finely chop the dill, and cut the chives into little rolls. Put everything into a medium-sized bowl and mix with 1 tbsp of olive oil. If the feta cheese is very salty, I would not add any more salt to the vegetables.whip the feta
Place the feta cheese in the food processor and turn it on. Gradually add 3 tbsp of olive oil until the cheese is creamily blended.assemble
Spread the feta on a flat plate and smooth it out. Distribute the vegetables over the cheese and serve. If you store the plate in the fridge, the cheese might harden a bit. I would recommend bringing it to room temperature before serving.Pairings
Why isn’t my feta getting creamy?
Can I make it ahead?
Can I use a hand blender?
