When you think of a nice fresh crisp salad, what comes to your mind? Probably some freshly picked cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, crispy onions or shallots, delicious avocado and lemon juice. Well, its all here. And a little bit more.
Honestly I am not a big fan of feta cheese. Especially of a crumbled one. Dairy companies put too much cellulose dust in their packages to prevent feta from sticking in to one big piece and it taste gross( and unhealthy too)
Would you like to save this?

If i cant find any real feta in blocks, i buy Queso Fresco! Lovely smooth taste and creamy consistency makes it a great substitute for any feta cheese.
