I love feta too! This dip is such a great way to use it!

I have made this substituting low fat mayo. It makes a delicious salad dressing with a little extra crumbled feta and a few thin slices of cucumber for garnish

Oh yum! You substituted the mayo for the cream cheese or the greek yogurt? Either way, sounds like a delish adaption!

Are you unpeeling the garlic after been roasted or peeling 1 bulb of garlic before roasting? Looks like you put it in the aluminum foil & bake or broil?

Thanks for the question! I separate the whole head of garlic but don’t peel the individual cloves – instead I just trim the stem end a bit. Then place the trimmed cloves in a foil packet and bake in a 350 degree oven. Remove from oven and let cool, THEN give each clove a little squeeze and the roasted garlic pops right out of the peel. Hope this helps!

Is their a substitute for the Greek yogurt as to regular plain yogurt?
ONE armed MAMA
Sure! You can use any plain yogurt or even sour cream as a sub for the greek yogurt.
