Instructions
- Blend the Feta: In a food processor or blender, add the crumbled feta cheese, olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add Pumpkin and Spices: Add the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), honey, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cumin (if using) to the feta mixture. Blend again until everything is well combined and smooth. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
- Adjust Consistency: If the dip is too thick, you can add a little more Greek yogurt or olive oil to reach your desired consistency.

- Enjoy: Serve the Pumpkin Whipped Feta Dip with pita chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
