Feta Cheese Makes Summer Salads Pop
Summer salads are all about incorporating the freshest seasonal produce, especially berries and stone fruit. We like to balance out their sweetness with bits of feta cheese, which add back in a briny, salty 1-2 punch.
FreshDirect’s authentic Greek feta is perfect for the task, with its crumbly texture and fresh, salty, milky taste. It provides the right amount of savory flavor to contrast with summer fruits at their ripest.

What To Do:
In a small, dry skillet, toast pecans over medium heat until fragrant and slightly darker, 4-5 minutes.
