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)
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.
