Feta Pine Nut Spread

• | Print |

This spread is one of the best party spreads ever.  It is easy to make and your guests will think you hired a caterer.   We served it for catered parties and everyone went crazy for it.

It's creamy and chunky and cheesey and sun dried tomatoey.   What's not to like!
