Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh feta cheese
- 1 to 2 large lemons juiced. Sweet lemons such as the Meyer would be preferable.

Instructions
- Break up the cheese with a fork.
- Add lemon juice and poppy seeds and mix in.
- Put ingredients in glass jar and shake vigorously to combine.

- The end result should be creamy and not runny.
Notes
