Marinated Feta With Oil, Lemon, and Rosemary
Marinated feta is one of my favorite go-to recipes for adding a burst of flavor to just about anything. Whether it's a simple salad, a mezze platter, or even on top of pizza, this marinated feta elevates every bite. With a mix of olive oil, fresh herbs, lemon peel, and a little kick of red pepper flakes, this marinated feta is as versatile as it is beautiful. Plus, it makes for a stunning (and delicious) gift in a jar!
