Feta is the star of this Mediterranean salad!
Salads are great for our health, and we’re always on the lookout for new ingredients and ways to put together healthy and delicious salad dishes. This time, we combined marinated feta with some simple, fresh herbs and regular salad that you can find at your local market. Feta is the protagonist in this salad, and when marinated with fresh herbs, it becomes even much more flavorful. You will love this simple Mediterranean salad dish.

Exactly how long does the feta need to marinate?
Great question, Lacey! I would marinate the feta for at least 30 minutes. If you’d like a more herb-y flavor, you can marinate for longer! I wouldn’t marinate (refrigerated) past 48 hours. You can drain and store (refrigerated in a sealed container) for longer.
