HEALTHY MEDITERRANEAN FETA DIP #1 (SPICY)
I ate this at a Bulgarian restaurant and it was simply delicious. I think I came pretty close to the original recipe by mixing my own ingredients and proportions. My husband and I like to enjoy this dip with a nice glass of red wine.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The freshness and quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your dip. Make sure to use ripe tomatoes, fresh herbs, and creamy feta cheese.

- Serve the dip with a variety of accompaniments: This dip is delicious served with pita chips, crackers, vegetable crudités, or grilled meats.
