dip essentials: awesome versatile cheese dip
This is a great dip for your holiday table, and can be made several days in advance. I call this a holiday dip, because I make it a lot during the holidays; however, you can make this dip any old time of the year. Your guests will love it. So, add a bit more feta, or less... add more lemon juice, or less. That's what makes this dip so versatile. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
