Fresh ground pepper

5 tbsp honey

1 tbsp olive oil

1 garlic clove, minced

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp crushed red chili flakes

** Alternatively use equal parts feta and room temperature cream cheese instead of ricotta and sour cream.

2. In a saucepan, heat olive oil. Add garlic, sauté on very low heat until soft. Turn off the heat. Stir in honey, lemon juice and chili flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over feta mix. 

3. Serve at room temperature with pita, pita chips, fresh veggies or use as a spread for sandwiches etc. 

ADDITIONAL TIPS

-You can use any type of feta cheese you like.
