I recall getting a small tiny taste of it when I took a bite of my friend’s Greek salad a long while back. But I couldn’t really taste the flavour of it, so I never really cared for feta cheese. It didn’t look that appealing and to me, it was just another type of cheese. Nothing exciting.
But I do know a lot of people who are quite fond of feta cheese, and so I thought it would be a good idea for me to learn a bit more feta cheese, the flavour, the texture and the possible ways to use it, etc., considering I will be a Registered Dietitian soon in the near future and it would do me good to be familiar with a wide variety of foods.
Plus, I’ve neglected my Food Challenge Project for quite some time now, and feta cheese would be a good place to reignite the project once again.
Many recipes I found used feta cheese as a topping that is added in last minute, almost like a garnish. I didn’t like those because I wanted a recipe that featured feta cheese, a dish in which I can really taste it in every bite. Eventually, I found the perfect recipe — Broccoli Salad with Creamy Feta Dressing!
I tweaked the recipe slightly based on the reviews and the salad turned out very scrumptious. The feta cheese had a very dominant yet very pleasing flavour in the salad. Although it was a creamy salad, it was not heavy at all, it was very light and refreshing.
1 medium apple, diced (best to use a sweet and crisp variety)
1 cup canned corn kernels, rinsed and drained
Dressing Ingredients
2/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 garlic clove, minced or pressed (less if you’re not a fan for garlic)
Freshly ground pepper
In a large bowl, toss together all the salad ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix together the ingredients for the dressing, and then toss together with the salad. Serve at room temperature or keep cover and refrigerated for up to 1 day.

This is the first time I’ve bought feta cheese and made a dish out of it.
Feta Cheese can definitely count as part of my Food Challenge Project.
