Lemon-Garlic Feta Spread
Combine all ingredients in a mini food processor and blend until almost smooth OR put all ingredients in a small bowl and blend with a fork. If your cheese is not at room temperature, put the ingredients in the microwave for 30 seconds, then blend.
Keep refrigerated, but remove from the fridge half an hour before serving to allow the cheese to soften and become spreadable.
