Feta
Tangy salad cubes
Feta is a white, crumbly cheese traditionally made from sheep's milk or a mixture of sheep's and goat's milk, brined to give it a tangy, salty flavor.
It originated in Greece and is central to Greek cuisine—crumbled over salads, baked into pastries, or served with olives and bread.
The salad was topped with chunks of feta.
