We love Mediterranean food here at the saucy scientist, among many others, so feta is a real staple around the lab. We put it on everything, just check out the Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Chili Crisp! To that end we started making whipped feta for get togethers, movie snacks, and snack snacks. Then inspiration struck and we set to the lab! Blue cheese could be the game changer! Add a bit of crisp and vinegars for an acidic punch and it could be epic. Cue the inspirational montage anddddddd.......
Prepare for what may be the best cheese dips, ever! Funky blue cheese and tangy feta pair up for a sophisticated and adult interpretation of cheese dips past. The Pineapple Chili Crisp Vinaigrette counterpoints the dairy goodness with a sharp acidic tang and a complex menagerie of salty, sweet, & umami goodness. This is where it all came too...this is where the Big Bang meant to take us. :P
This is a great recipe to get the creative juices flowing! Here are some examples:
- Change the cheeses! There are hundreds if not thousands of cheeses in this big blue marble, give them some room to shine!
- Try different flavored fruity balsamic vinegars
- Try adding other flavored oils to the vinaigrette too! The sky is the limit!
This is the way!
