Who Wants A Change?
It’s summertime and the abundance of fresh veggies, fruit, and sunshine has consistently made me want to change for the better… Has this happened to you? One such change I’ve implemented is making the change to feta… Now, I have always loved feta cheese but lately I have been trying to use feta as a replacement for the normal cheddar and american cheeses that I have grown up on… it has 1/3 less fat and 30 percent fewer calories than typical cheddar cheese… In addition, Athenos feta comes in 11 different delicious varieties… The problem is that the only way I have been enjoying feta is in salads and on sandwiches or wraps, so I’m asking you for ideas!
In the comments section, I would love to hear how you eat feta whether it is in an unusually tasty recipe or a simple suggestion… Please enter by tomorrow (Friday) at 2pm EST and I will select a winner, based on the responses below, to win an Athenos Prize Pack seen below!
Nice idea! I love using cheese in “all the wrong places.”
- Sprinkled into sweet potatoes (great tangy contrast)
- With…wait for it…peanut butter! I promise it’s good!
- On top of roasted veggies with balsamic vinegar
- On top of fruit salad (kind of like adding salt and lemon juice)
- On burgers/porkchops/portabella mushrooms
- In guacamole
- If you have a mild-tasting variety of feta, it can work for cream cheese in a dish where the cream cheese isn’t the star ingredient
I like it mixed in with Bulgur Wheat & Spinach or on top of pizza….yummm
This might sound weird…but I think feta is amazing in scrambled eggs! Then, topped with salsa.. OMG.
I love feta on salads and on sandwiches – nothing too unique for you unfortunately. Still, great giveaway!
Feta + tomatoes + spinach + grapes= YUM! I had that the other night for dinner. I was wanting seconds!
I made a feta, corn, and walnut salad that tasted JUST like white cheddar popcorn!!
I also love to use it in my eggs, scrambled or baked.
Have you ever tried feta and greek seasoning on air popped popcorn? I call it my mediterranean popcorn!
