bluelucia's New Year's Eve Feta Spread

bluelu sent this wonderful recipe to me -- mmmmm, feta... And if you read her notes below you'll discover a fiendish secret!

• 1 (6 ounce) package feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/8 cup chopped black olives, drained

In a food processor, place the feta cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and oregano. Using the pulse setting, blend the mixture until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl. Blend in the olives by hand or with a spoon. Refrigerate until serving.

Be a little ginger with the lemon juice -- the spread gets tart fast. I also like to add more olives than this, cuz I'm an olive fiend. And last time I added some fresh basil, which was lovely.
