Directions

For the Whipped Feta Dip, combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate. 
For the tapenade, combine the roasted red peppers, kalamata olives, Rodelle Greek Seasoning, and olive oil in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Top the feta dip with dollops of the tapenade. Using a knife or small wooden stick, swirl the tapenade into the top of the dip.
Garnish with the red pepper flakes, pine nuts, and lemon zest. Refrigerate until service.
For the Homemade Pita Chips, preheat the oven to 425 F. Using a knife or a pair of kitchen scissors, cut the pita rounds into uniform-sized triangles. Each pita bread should yield approximately 8-12 chips, depending on the desired size of each triangle.
Transfer the pita triangles to a bowl, drizzle with olive oil to lightly coat, and transfer to two half sheet pans lightly greased with cooking spray or oil. Spread the triangles on the baking pan to ensure they are not touching. Season lightly and bake in the prepared oven for 10 minutes. Serve in a bowl alongside the Whipped Feta Dip.

Tips

Before blending the ingredients in a food processor, cut the feta cheese up into medium-sized chunks so they are easier to blend
