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.

I liked the combination of vegetables. I was not thrilled with the Greek vinaigrette dressing I used. I will try light Italian vinaigrette the next time or red wine vinaigrette.
