   Spread the whipped feta on a serving plate, pile the warm carrots on top, then top with chopped roasted pecans, fresh dill/mint/parsley, and drizzles of honey. Finally, a little dusting of sumac and/or Aleppo pepper.

   Pistachios work in place of pecans. Mint or parsley work as herb alternatives.
