“This makes the most of summer’s bounty. I used to prepare it with a mayonnaise dressing, but lightened it with lemon vinaigrette. It’s even better.” —Priscilla Yee, Concord, California

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 have made this recipe multiple times for different groups. It has gotten rave reviews each time. The fresh corn adds a lot to it.

A real winner! I turned this salad into a main dish by adding a cup of diced cooked chicken. I used frozen corn, although I'm sure the flavor of fresh corn is superior. I also cut the lemon juice from 3 T to 2 T; it is sometimes a bit overpowering. I made up the volume with 1 T of water. The vinaigrette was perfect; even my husband, who generally doesn't like salad dressing of any kind, liked it.

On a whim, my husband and I made this salad one night to go with our dinner. It was deliciously light, yet crunchy. Mmmmm! This one's a keeper!

This is a teriffic salad. Fast and easy. For me the couscous gave a different but interesting texture. I certainly plan to make it again.Hilma McCorkle

I made this using extra virgin olive oil. The flavor was much to strong for a salad. Be sure to use a lighter tasting version
