Staffer Ben Perez's secret ingredient for the TikTok-famous whipped lemonade? "I added a tiny pinch of salt (trust me on this), because I felt it gave it that frozen margarita-ish vibe and made the flavor more vibrant." Yum!

Pro tip from staffer Kate Bennert: "Be sure to pay attention to what kind of feta you choose for this recipe. I used a feta packaged in brine (so that it didn't dry out too much in the oven) and I tasted it before I seasoned the rest of my ingredients so as not to end up with a way-too-salty dinner."
