Notes
For the best results, ensure the feta is at room temperature before blending to achieve a smoother texture. The resting time is crucial for the flavors to develop fully, so resist the urge to skip it. You can adjust the level of spiciness by modifying the amount of red pepper flakes, and feel free to garnish with extra herbs for a fresh touch.
