Having used only the cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese for the past few years, feta was a big jump for me. I finally mustered the courage to pick up a big box of feta cheese from the store. Since I stay away from cheese, I was skeptical with my decision as to how to finish up the box. But those doubts flew when I tasted it and I instantly knew that everyone at home would love the creamy feta.
My daughter wanted to eat it on its own and the others enjoyed the salad. Crispy cucumbers and onions tasted great on its own with the dressing, but the feta cheese took it to a whole new level. It added creaminess and richness to the salad and I will be making more of this in the coming months. Summer is the time for fresh vegetables and I am sure everyone loves simple salads with no fancy ingredients. Off to the recipe.

Tried this today! I didn’t have any feta or fresh cheese on hand, so to add a little flavor I splashed in some red vinegar. Yum! Can’t wait to try again with all the proper ingredients.
