How do I make Cranberry Whipped Feta Dip less tangy?

If your dip tastes too sharp, mellow the flavor with more cream cheese or a tablespoon of honey. A touch of Greek yogurt can also balance the saltiness from the feta.

Can I use dried cranberries instead of fresh?

Yes, but soak them in hot water for 10 minutes first to rehydrate. The dip will be slightly sweeter and less tart but still delicious.

What can I serve with Cranberry Whipped Feta Dip for brunch?

It pairs wonderfully with warm bagels, smoked salmon, or even spooned over buttery croissant strata for a creamy, tangy topping.

Can I freeze Cranberry Whipped Feta Dip?

You can. Place it in an airtight container and freeze for up to a month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and stir well before serving for the best texture.
