- Combine in Food Processor: Place the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic clove, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes into a food processor bowl.
- Blend Until Smooth: Pulse and blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the whipped dip and add more red pepper flakes if you want more heat or honey for added sweetness. Blend briefly to combine.

Notes
- Use good quality feta cheese for the best flavor, ideally one that is not overly salty.
- If the dip is too thick, you can thin it out with a teaspoon or two of water or more olive oil.
- This dip can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a spicier version, increase the red pepper flakes or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Honey can be omitted for a less sweet, more savory dip.
