Why is my feta dip runny?

First be sure you use thick Greek yogurt. Regular yogurt will make it runny. Also stop blending once it’s just whipped. If you keep blending, it will soften and become loose very fast. If it's runny, chill in the refrigerator for a few hours and it will firm up.

How long can I store it ?

Any leftover can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.

Can I make it in advance?

Yes absolutely. It's best to enjoy the the whipped, creamy goodness immediately but it stores well. Once it chills in the fridge, the texture will thicken but you can reprocess or whip it by hand with a fork. It's best to store the whipped feta and cranberry sauce separately. It will keep 4-5 days in the refrigerator.

What other toppings can I use if I don't have cranberry sauce?

You can top this with any fruity jam, fig jam, hot honey or chia jam. I also like the whipped feta with my Roasted Cherry Tomatoes .
