LEMON-HERB MARINATED FETA
Briny feta, tart lemon, bright herbs and hot pepper come together in perfect harmony here. Spoon this appetizer onto a round of buttery, toasted French bread for a perfectly balanced bite that you'll want to keep eating all night. That's right, this easy and elegant recipe is perfect for a party. It's low-effort, tastes great and is sure to impress, despite the fact that its ingredient list is short and mostly utilizes bits and bobs of ingredients you might already have on hand. Feta might be the exception to that rule, but that's exactly what we were going for when we developed this recipe: a way to showcase the divine flavor of this special cheese. So mix this up in advance of your next party, and watch your guests go gaga over this marinated app-there's no need to reveal how easy it was to make.
