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.

Great recipe...followed instructions perfectly and it came out amazing...definately a keeper, so flavorful and moist.

This is really good and a quick salad to go with chicken, port chops, etc. I think the red onion is a bit too strong (although my husband disagreed), so next time I'll make it with green onions. The leftovers held up well and tasted good 1-2 days later.

Was going to make just as written but the little scamps that reside under our roof ate my last cuke. Fortunately, there was ONE zucchini in the garden. I sauteed it before the corn and felt pretty swanky about how it turned out. Good use of zuke too! Tastes wonderful.

Excellent and easy to make! My stove was broken, so I microwaved the corn and it was fine. I also used white onion and dried basil. It's refreshing and makes for a great part of lunch. :)

Wonderful! Such a nice change from the usual salads. My mother asked me if I was sprinkling bleu cheese on it. May try that next time, see how it compares. Great recipe!

Incredibly fresh, crunchy and cool. Especially when it's so hot outside you don't want a warm salad. The basil makes it!

I can't agree more with the other reviewers. The dressing is just enough. Perfect.

I diced the tomatoes and served this as salsa with chips. It was a hit!

Yum! I brought this to a barbecue and it was a great, fresh addition. So good for you, and it smells incredible when you saute it.

What a delicious way to use leftover corn! I also used cukes and cherry tomatoes from my own garden. The dressing compliments rather than overpowers the fresh flavors. Five stars!
