8 ounces feta cheese, finely crumbled and drained

1/2 cup half-and-half

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Grocery List Plus Editorial Staff4

All ingredients are standard stock at Charlotte grocers—corn, feta, cream cheese, and fresh herbs are readily available at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, or Walmart without a special trip. At roughly 60–75 cents per serving (driven by cream cheese and feta), it's a solid value for a party dip. The stated 20 minutes is honest: this is mostly stirring and assembling, though mincing garlic and chopping vegetables will add five minutes for an unprepared cook. It reheats gently in a slow cooker or low oven, making it ideal for weeknight entertaining, though best served warm and fresh rather than hours ahead.
