MARINATED FETA THREE WAYS
With just a few ingredients and some hands-off time, feta cheese can be transformed into a delicious appetizer to serve with crostini or as an accompaniment to grilled vegetables and meat. We came up with a trio of super versatile flavor combinations that are all made following the same method. By marinating the feta in glass jars, you'll be able to see the colors of the aromatics, for a beautiful and delicious gift too.

Steps:
- For each of the above combinations, place all ingredients except for the feta in a small saucepan and gently heat over medium low just until tiny bubbles begin to form, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Once the infused olive oil is cool, transfer half of the aromatics from the saucepan to a 16-ounce Mason jar followed by half of the feta. Repeat layering and then carefully pour the infused olive oil into the jar. Gently press the feta down if needed to ensure it is fully submerged and seal the jar with its lid (see Cook's Note). Place the jar in the refrigerator and allow the feta to marinate for at least 12 hours and up to 5 days.
- Remove the jar from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the solidified olive oil to liquify.
MARINATED FETA SALAD
Veeeery tasty salad that I invented myself in one of my few cooking creative moments. We love it at home with homemade pita bread and I use to make it for our guests in the summer. They always get second servings. My suggestion: use a very small garlic clove :-)

Steps:
- Cut the Feta cheese block in cubes, about 2x2 cmm (little bit less than 1x1 inch) and put it in a little bowl (something like a breakfast bowl).
- Press the garlic clove with a garlic press over the cheese (or cut in veeery small bits).
- Pour in the oregano, basil and pepper and mix well.
- The cheese should end up coated in herbs and garlic.
- pour 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of vinegar and all the olive oil over the cheese, and mix carefully to avoid the cheese to crumble.
- Let stand about 2 hours, mixing every 30 minutes for the olive oil to coat the cheese.
- Wash the tomatoes, the lettuce and the persil and cut the tomatoes in 8 bits and the lettuce leaves in stripes about 2 inches wide.
- In a salad bowl, mix tomatoes and lettuce with salt (not too much: the cheese is quite salty) and 1/2 tablespoon vinegar, and add black olives.
- Add the cheese mix, drained, and decorate with parsley leaves.

MARINATED FETA WITH HERBS AND PEPPERCORNS
The best recipes often make a good ingredient great through minimal effort. For this easy appetizer, start with good-quality feta, preferably in brine, which is creamier than the squeaky supermarket varieties. Many commercial fetas use only cow's milk and can taste somewhat one-note, so look for one that contains both sheep's and goat's milk, which provide the cheese's signature tang. Dice the feta, toss it with preserved lemon, peppercorns and chile, and refrigerate overnight. Spoon it onto crostini, or serve it alongside eggs, fish, salad, grilled or roasted vegetables or atop a bowl of pasta.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the olive oil, parsley, preserved lemon, chile, oregano and peppercorns.
- Cut the feta into 1/2-inch cubes and add them to the olive oil mixture. Gently fold together until feta is evenly coated. Transfer to a jar or lidded container and drizzle with more olive oil, if needed to immerse the feta. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
- Remove from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving to allow solidified olive oil to return to liquid form. Serve with crackers or crostini, or spoon on top of seared fish, grilled or roasted vegetables, pasta or salad.

- MARINATED FETA: add the cubed feta, rosemary spring, thyme, oregano, and red pepper flakes to a glass storage container (one that has a tight-fitting lid) then pour the olive oil over the top. You might need additional olive oil to cover the feta completely, it just depends on the size of your container. Cover the container with the lid and allow the feta to sit in the refrigerator for 1-14 days. Be sure to allow the marinated feta to come to room temperature for 30 minutes - 2 hours so the oil liquifies before you remove the feta.
- VINAIGRETTE: Add the ingredients for the vinaigrette in a glass jar (one that had a lid.) Screw on the cap and give it a good shake. Taste and adjust with additional seasonings as desired.
- SALAD: When ready to serve, add all the ingredients for the salad, along with the drained marinated feta to a large bowl. Drizzle half the dressing and toss the salad. Taste and adjust with additional dressing as desired. Allow the salad to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
