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.

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!
