Steps:
- Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl and use a small spoon to create a swirl on the surface of the dip. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.
- MAKE AHEAD: This dip can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. It will stiffen up in the fridge to a spread-like consistency, so be sure to let it sit at room temperature for about an hour before serving.
- To make the toasted pita wedges: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush the pita bread on both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cut into wedges, then arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes until lightly toasted.
- To make the toasted sesame seeds: In a small pan over medium heat, cook the sesame seeds, stirring frequently, until golden, a few minutes. Watch carefully as they are quick to burn.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the carrots, potatoes and Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil and sprinkle with the salt, pepper and coriander. Spread the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes. Flip the vegetables and continue to roast until tender and browned all over, 15 to 20 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, add the feta, yogurt, honey, lemon zest and lemon juice to a food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy, adding a little water if needed to loosen the puree. Add the herbs and pulse until just distributed (you don't want to turn the mixture green; you just want to combine them). Spread the feta mixture on a platter. Arrange the roasted vegetables on top of the feta. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds and pistachios over the top and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:
- Prepare and cut the vegetables. Combine in a mixing bowl all of the above ingredients, except the tomatoes, basil leaves, dressing, and pita halves. You may leave the chickpeas out, if you wish.
- Toss vegetable mixture to lightly glaze the vegetables with olive oil.
- Spoon vegetable mixture onto a broiler pan or cookie sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Broil 5 minutes, add tomatoes and basil leaves to vegetable mixture and stir. Baste with additional marinade and broil for an additional 5 minutes or until vegetables are just tender and lightly browned. Tomatoes and basil should be just warmed; if you prefer the tomato softer, add with vegetable mixture at the beginning.
- Prepare the dressing while vegetables are broiling.
- Divide the vegetable mixture evenly between pita halves. Drizzle with Creamy Feta Dressing. Serve.
- Creamy Feta Dressing:.
- Combine all ingredients except the dill into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Scrape the sides of the blender as needed. Add more milk as needed to get a consistency that is rather thin and pourable.
- Pour into a bowl and sir in dill. Add more lemon juice if a tangier taste is preferred. Enjoy! This makes enough for 2-4 servings.

ROASTED FETA WITH HONEY
A drizzle of honey and a blast of heat transform a standard block of crumbly feta into an unexpectedly luscious, creamy spread for pita and vegetables. This, with a hunk of crusty bread and a glass of chilled white wine, is the perfect warm weather supper. If you can't get your hands on thyme honey, the regular sort will do just fine.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Select a small oven-to-table earthenware dish or a small ovenproof sauté pan lined with aluminum foil to help transfer the cheese to a plate after roasting. Place the feta in the dish and cover with the olive oil. Bake until the cheese is soft and springy to the touch but not melted, about 8 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler. Heat the honey in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water until it is fluid enough to be spread with a pastry brush and then paint the surface of the feta with it. Broil until the top of the cheese browns and just starts to bubble. Season to taste with black pepper. Serve immediately with pita wedges and, if desired, sliced heirloom tomatoes, roasted beets, nuts or pickled vegetables.
