Jean ★ 5.0/5

An easy, refreshing appetizer. I only added about 2-3 ounces of Feta for my personal preference; it was delicious. I served it with toasted pita but it also tastes great with flatbread crackers

CHRISTINE ★ 5.0/5

This was absolutely delicious. I made a double batch for an Easter appetizer and it was eaten by all. This will be a regular appetizer for us. I have yet to find a recipe of yours that isn't delicious. So so good.

Brushjl ★ 5.0/5

OMG!!! I have had this 3 times in the past 2 weeks and am craving more! Caramelized shallots, creamy feta and briny olives make this an app you can't stop eating!
