TIPS-  Immediately associated with a fresh Greek salad, the salty and soft feta cheese provides a creamy counterpart to the cruncy vegetables. Because it's  cut into blocks and packaged in a salty whey brine, feta is often referred to as a "pickled cheese". Available worldwide, its a common addition to salads and baked dishes, and is characterized by a rich, tangy flavour.
