For the whipped feta

100 g (3.5oz) cream cheese room temperature
200 g (7oz) feta cheese in brine
1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove minced
pinch black pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
1-2 tbsp heavy cream optional

For the salad

350 g (10oz) tomatoes finely chopped
1 small red onion finely chopped
1 green bell pepper finely chopped
200 g (7oz) Kalamata olives pitted and chopped

Instructions

To make the whipped feta, combine the room temperature cream cheese, feta cheese, olive oil, garlic, pepper and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl regularly to ensure the mixture is combined and there are no chunks. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of cream and continue blending.
To make the salad, add the chopped vegetables to a large bowl then dress with the salad dressing.
To serve, spread the whipped feta onto a serving platter then spoon over the salad.
Garnish with chopped dill, a sprinkle of flaky salt and a drizzle of olive oil then serve immediately.
