Healthy Recipes Lifestyle Diets No Added Sugar Whipped Feta with Roasted Tomatoes 5.0 (2) 2 Reviews This easy appetizer is a must-have for your next gathering. Roasting the tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness, while the garlic’s sharper flavor gets mellowed out. If you don’t have basil, garnish with oregano or thyme. Toasted whole-wheat baguette scoops up every bit of dip, but you could also serve with sliced veggies. By Alex Loh Alex Loh Alex Loh is EatingWell's food editor.
