I love feta but I can’t stand fat free! I am definitely making this next week with the regular! It looks amazingly delicious AND healthy! YUM!

I shop at a privately-owned chain of grocery stores called, “Trader Joe’s” which carries “Lite Feta” in an 8 oz. package, not in a container, and which is the perfect alternative to ‘fat free’ feta. It crumbles well and contains enough fat to feel moist in your mouth without the full fat. You can also find it at another chain grocery store, “Sprout’s,” and they also carry feta with herbs. I live in northern California and there must be other grocery stores that carry this ‘lite’ version. Let me know what you think.

My husband recently found out that his diet needs to change drastically. This included going gluten free amongst other things. With a few modifications this recipe fit his new dietary restrictions. The best part was he LOVED it! He has been really upset about the diet restrictions and this saved the day. Thank you!

DO you have to use Red wine vinegar? can you use apple cider vinegar? Will it change the taste if I use the apple vinegar?
Dashing Dish said:

Took this salad to a Memorial Day event. It was the only item entirely consumed. This includes beer drinking guys who could care less about ” no oil: no mayo” salad dressing
