So this is fantastic. I have a friend who made a delicious halibut and couscous the other night…when I asked what was in the couscous to make it so unbelievably amazing, she said “feta salsa” and pointed me to Whole Foods. I just decided to Google it…sure that someone had a homemade (read: cheaper) version and what was the FIRST LINK? My favorite book-marked food blog…Smitten Kitchen! Thank you, thank you! (And definitely try the feta salsa combined into couscous with flaky white fish on top…YUM)

This is similar to a recipe my step-mother uses around Christmas time. Pomegranate seeds, avocado, roasted zuchini, feta, red onion, a little S&P and a squeeze of lime juice (all proportions to taste) to bring it all together. Scooped up on pita chips it is one of the most delicious, surprising ‘dips’ I’ve ever had. The ingredients just don’t sound like they’ll go together and yet one taste, and you end up gobbling it up! I’ve never thought of putting it over greens or spinach. . great new idea! Thanks Deb ~

I just discovered your site the other day and I love the pictures and i love your posts. Browsing through your entries -I came upon this post (i love feta!). In response to your very last question – I married a Sephardic Jewish guy (middle eastern as well as W. European decent) and his policy is an open door policy- anyone is welcome anytime (although most Sephardic families are very hospitable). I am Jewish as well, but my family comes from Eastern Europe. So, I have adopted this custom… and yes, people do randomly drop by for dinner at our house. People randomly drop by on the weekends just because they were in the neighborhood. Two things I always do – invite them in and offer them something to eat. (I always make a little extra dinner … just in case).

Just made this for an appetizer for Thanksgiving tomorrow–it’s fabulous! It’s going to take everything I have not to eat this all up today!

I know this is a year and a half late, but that’s why we can access these recipes anytime, right?

I made the feta salsa for a party where my professors (people I wish to impress so they’ll give me a doctorate someday!) and their spouses were also in attendance.

First, I loved it as an affordable alternative to Whole Foods’s delicious but overpriced feta salsa.

Second, it is delicious. You are amazing.

Third, I got asked (by a prof) if I was Greek! So … let’s say that’s positive affirmation. I’m not, but I do love Greek cuisine and Greek-esque dips like this.

So, thanks!

Made this with avocado for a party and it was FABULOUS. I baked pita chips (if you’re already eating cheese, why not save a bit of fat where you can?) to serve alongside, nixed the dill (several dill-haters in my household), reduced the amount of olive oil to 2 Tbs. and added a whole, diced Haas avocado. It was delicious! While it doesn’t seem the flavors of feta/kalamata/s.d. tomato and avo would necessarily match, there’s a sandwich shop in Manhattan Beach (North End Caffe) that schmears avocado on everything — to great effect — so thought I’d give it a try, per another reviewers suggestion. It’s in the party rotation now. And leftovers? AWESOME hangover food.

Ha! I just stumbled upon this recipe. I work for Whole Foods and when they started making this I would totally buy a container plus a bag of crostinis first thing in the morning and that is all I would snack on all day. Yum. I <3 feta!

Amazing.

I brought this to a recent potluck and it was a huge hit. I served it with sea salted crackers and I’ve also used it as a wrap filler along with some turkey and red pepper strips. Instead of using regular olive oil, I drizzled a bit of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes in.

I just wanted to post an update: I made this into a delicious pasta salad last night. I threw the salsa in with some chilled whole wheat bowtie noodles, and it made a fantastic salad. Next time I may add some grilled chicken and make it a meal.
