Whipped Goat Cheese with Roasted Grapes
This Whipped Goat Cheese with Roasted Grapes is a delicious creamy dip recipe – it's sweet, salty, tangy, and just all around perfect. The whipped goat cheese element on its own is the perfect base for so many topping ideas (suggestions below), but I particularly love the roasted grapes.
