Tip

The History of Feta

FETA is a white, salty, semi-firm cheese. Traditionally it was made from sheep or goat's milk but is now also made with cow's milk. After feta is formed in a special mold, it's sliced into large pieces, salted and soaked in brine. Although feta cheese is mostly associated with Greek cooking, "feta" comes from the Italian word "fette", meaning slice of food.

TO DIE FOR!! LUVED this salad! I couldn't get enuf! I have made this over the last few yrs. and people always ask for the recipe when I bring it to gatherings. I did add craisins to the salad. This is definately in my top favs for salads.

I really like the flavors!! I used store-bought candied walnuts to save a few minutes. The dressing is delicious, although I added about a tablespoon of olive oil to cut the vinegar a little. Perfect for colder months when it's hard to find veggies for your salad!
