Whipped NZ feta dip

To celebrate New Zealand Cheese Month, here is a way to help get your five-a-day in with a punch of flavour.

Makes 1 cup

150g creamy feta cheese, crumbled

150g creme fraiche

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

A few semi-dried cherry tomatoes

A few small basil leaves

Method

Put the feta, creme fraiche and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt, if needed.

Spread into a dish and top with the tomatoes and the remaining olive oil. Scatter over the basil leaves.

NOTE: Prepped vegetables make great dippers and provide freshness and crunch to a creamy and luscious dip.

Try using blanched green beans and snow peas, along with red radishes.
