Whatever else is on your table as an appetizer or main meal, add a slice of feta cheese. Feta is the ultimate "table cheese," meaning it can go on the table before you even start thinking about a meal, and stay there to accompany each course, even dessert fruits.

This non-cook "recipe" puts an authentic touch of Greece on your table in two minutes.

Put a 1/2 inch slice of feta cheese on a salad plate. Serve it plain, or sprinkle with oregano (and pepper if you like), and drizzle with olive oil.

Feta is a salty cheese that adds flavor to whatever else you've got on the menu, and an authentic Greek touch to your table.
