"I'm Greek. My body produces feta cheese."
-Zach Galifanakis, Actor

The refrigerator light goes on...

These are some of my favorite flavors and making the salad is so easy but really delicious. You can use a regular tomato but cherry or grape tomatoes (about 5 cherry or 10 grape) will bring a lot of fresh tomato flavor whatever time of year.

There are a lot of other variations - green olives, adding a couple of minced pepperoncini peppers, a couple of teaspoons of toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds, for example.
