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.

RE: Tomato-Green Bean Salad

Very tasty. I added some granulated garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. I will definitely serve it again.

Estelle is right, try to make it 24 hr. ahead, I had to serve it sooner and it was still good but it didn't have the same intensity of flavor.
