Notes
- Feta is naturally crumbly, so small lumps are normal! Avoiding pre-crumbled feta helps prevent large lumps.
- Add a splash extra olive oil or water for a thinner dip.

- The dip will firm up in the fridge. If making ahead, remove from fridge 30 minutes before serving and refresh with a splash of olive oil if needed.
