Sherry
Oh YUM. I can't wait to try it. I love love love feta cheese. 🙂 Sorry Danni!
Mary ~
Thanks Sherry – I love Feta cheese too and not just because I am Greek!
Danni Baird @ Silo Hill Farm
This looks wonderful and quick! I love the photos too! I'm not a feta cheese lover, would Manchego be a good substitute?
Mary ~
Thank you, Danni! I think Manchego would be good! I love to experiment. This salsa would be great without the feta/alone – you could add more green onion and be sure to add some fresh cracked pepper for an added layer of flavor- maybe even some avocado. :O)
Mel@Mellywood's Mansion
