Roast grape and whipped feta salad

4 to 6
Easy

“It’s easy enough to double this salad and the whipped feta is also good as a dip or a spread – I like its saltiness with the sweetness of the grapes and the softness of the lettuce leaves. I also prefer the look of two small smashed lettuces in this dish.”
