Sounds like a great recipe to try…I am not crazy about feta cheese but i could substitute it with Mozzarella cheese.

Mozzarella basically has no taste. I think this salad would be ruined without the feta. IMHO

I really like feta. Perhaps you can substitute sharp white cheddar.

5

That would work better than mozzarella, but it wouldn’t be Greek then. Maybe a kaseri would be better.

Good idea
