The History of FetaFETA 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.

This is better than the Greek salad in my favorite Greek restaurant. It is wonderful and the Greek black olives are perfect with it. It is a whole meal for me.

Good! I used basil instead of cilantro (my cilantro hadn't come up yet in our garden!). Also added some grilled salmon to make it a meal! Added some red onion & carrots to it as well.

I added salmon I had in the refrigerator as a leftover to this as well as the tomatoes, feta cheese, fresh parsley with the Light Green Goddess Salad Dressing. I didn't have cucumber or Greek olives but the next time I'll make sure I have those also. We enjoyed the salad as a main dish.
