Feta Salsa
January 24, 2009
The first time I laid eyes on this recipe my mouth watered for about two weeks until we had friends over and I had an excuse to make it. And then I made it again to stuff into chicken breasts, then again just because it’s so good. And then, once again, last night for my friends and colleagues at Thirsty Thursday, on a Friday.
It’s that good.
This little appetizer is the perfect combination of everything that is good; salty feta, fresh cilantro, just a hint of dill and of course, sundried tomatoes. I adapted the recipe from Smitten Kitchen, who adapted it from Whole Foods. I say “adapted” because I don’t use the olives the original recipe calls for, for no reason other than the first time I made it my pitted olives turned out to be un-pitted. I couldn’t be bothered to pit them and I’ve just left them out ever since.
