- Fold the onions and jalapeños into the whipped feta mixture until fully incorporated.
- Adjust spice by mixing in reserved jalapeño seeds to achieve your desired heat.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container, letting it return to room temperature before serving.
