Chef's Tips

For a tangier flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice.

Other nuts like walnuts or almonds can be used instead of pistachios.

The whipped feta can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
