This is just salty and umami ingredients mixed together and you get to take all the credit. The toasted sesame seeds are a buttery underdog here and add great texture. Serve this with crackers or a giant loaf of bread to tear and dunk. Try to buy good-quality soft feta, and you'll get best results if the cheeses are at room temperature when you combine them. I love old-school things like Melba toast on the side here. Get creative!

Whipped Feta and Scallion Dip

feta cheese

mayonnaise

cream cheese, softened

sesame seeds

oregano

red pepper flakes

garlic, grated

Parmesan

red wine vinegar

Kosher salt, if needed

Seedy crackers,

carrots and cucumbers,

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, gently whip the feta, mayonnaise and cream cheese at medium speed until smooth and combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the sesame seeds, oregano, red pepper flakes and garlic. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the Parmesan, vinegar and scallions. Taste for seasoning. Add salt, if desired.

Spoon the dip into a bowl and garnish with scallions. Serve with seedy crackers and sliced carrots and cucumbers.

WINNER DIP! Sooo GOOD! The substitution I made was roasted garlic cloves instead of the grated raw garlic. The toasted sesame seeds with the creamy feta had everyone at the party talking. I ended up printing out the recipe in the hosts' office for 8 of the guests. Served with huge assortment of veggies and an artisanal cracker, the platter ended up empty. 

This is a great combination of the ingredients and I like it very much. I forgot to toast sesame seeds, but still the taste was great. I took it to the party and everybody liked it. I could not resist and finished whatever was left....lol. Thanks Alex.

I dont normally write reviews but this dip is absolutely phenomenal!  Everyt ingredient blends together and the sesame seeds make it.  I did leave the parmesan out as I really wanted the feta to come through.  Make sure you eat this with cucumbers it's a perfect pairing!
