Cranberry and Feta Pinwheels
Cranberry and Feta Pinwheels have a sweet and salty combo that is the perfect Christmas appetizer. The sweet cranberries with the tangy feta and onions make this 5 ingredient appetizer not only easy but delicious. I like to use spinach tortillas for an extra holiday touch.
CRANBERRY AND FETA PINWHEELS
How was your Thanksgiving? We had a nice spread. About 12 pies for 8 adults. We are still eating the leftovers.
My belt that I was wearing literally popped off my body as we were eating pie. I should have known better than to wear one. I swore I was never eating again and then 4pm the day after Thanksgiving I found myself fork in hand, eating pie.
After every holiday I get the holiday blues the next day. All of the excitement building up to the actual day and then BAM it’s over.
Which is why I’m quickly moving on to Christmas. Too soon? Eh. Here we go.
These Cranberry and Feta Pinwheels are delightful. Only 5 ingredients and you have a festive crowd pleaser. You definitely have to like feta.
Obviously I do because this Feta Dip is one of my favorites. But I almost felt like I cheated. It was almost too easy to be that good.
Here’s the lineup of ingredients: cream cheese, feta, cranberries, and green onions.
I used these spinach tortillas for a festive look. You could also use wheat tortillas. You just want to use something other than white tortillas so that the filling contrasts the tortilla and really pops!
Spread the filling all the way to the edges.
You can even make a tree out of them for Christmas!

These are so good and I have made them a couple times for Christmas parties, and now Halloween too (by request of one of my kids)! For a more Halloween-y color scheme, I substituted chopped dried apricots for the cranberries and threw in a shredded carrot too, and they came out really well. Just thought I’d pass along the idea.
Great idea!
These look so good! I wish I was eating this for lunch today!

Thanks!
Can you use gorgonzola or could you suggest another cheese?
You definitely could use gorgonzola!
Made these for a Christmas get together last week and a big hit. Use the whipped cream cheese to make this easier to mix and spread.
Great Idea to use whipped!
I absolutely love these pinwheels. I have made them many times for my card group. I switched out the cranberries for dried cherries. Everybody raves about them and they are so easy!
So glad you liked them.
This was great going to make them for drop in
Can you use fresh cranberries that have been cooked down with sugar.?
Absolutely!
How about a dash of cayenne?
