Easy hot dip made with cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and spices. Doubles as a thick and satisfying pasta sauce for a fast dinner.
A hot cheesy dip is a great way to keep the family happy until dinner is ready to be served!
My daughter came up with the recipe and everyone loves it including a neighbor who dropped in to sample it last week.
Once the dip is ready, you can serve it with your choice of dipping chips or bread.
My favorites are this recipe for baked sourdough tortilla chips or these garlic bread triangles.
Or…if you are short on time for pulling supper together, simply pour the feta and tomato dip over pasta and use it as a sauce. Dinner done!
If you go the pasta route, I recommend this line of sourdough pasta or this brand of soaked brown rice pasta for a gluten free option.
