Cooking Tip

Feta Cheese

Feta cheese has a tangy, salty taste. For Greek salads look for a semi hard texture and choose a cheese in the mild to sharp range, depending on your taste.

Cooking Tip

Kalamata or Black Pitted Olives

Kalamata olives are readily available in markets and specialty food stores. Packaged in olive oil or vinegar, the olives have a flavor that can be rich and fruity.
