Chef's Tips

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the baked feta for a little heat.

For a richer flavor, use sun-dried tomatoes in oil instead of cherry tomatoes.

Serve with a drizzle of honey over the baked feta after baking for added sweetness.

If you don't have red wine vinegar, lemon juice can be used for the salad dressing.
