Herbed Feta Recipe With Heirloom Tomatoes

The seasons are changing here with the air noticeably warmer and the foliage slowly turning from brilliant green to brown. 

Which reminded me to share my favorite summer appetizer! 

I've been making some variation of this simple treat since I was a teenager. I often bring it to summer potlucks and it's a big hit. 

I'll call it Marinated Feta Delight.

But really it's just feta marinated with lemon juice, herbs and served with tomatoes. 

Crumble the feta into small pieces. Add the lemon juice, enough to wet all the cheese with it but not so much that it puddles on the bottom. Throw some lemon zest in the mix if you've got it. 

Add the herbs (go fresh if possible).

It's best if you can let this sit overnight, but I've served it right away and it's still good.
