If your market has a cheese monger, ask about your feta options there.
8 ounces feta cheese, rinsed and pat dry
8 ounces pitted Kalamata olives, rinsed and pat dry
1/3 cup fresh oregano leaves
2 lemons
scant 1/4 cup / 50 ml extra virgin olive oil
lots of freshly ground black pepperto serve: toasted pita, crackers, lentils, pasta, just about anything!
With a sharp knife, cut the feta into smal cubes. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for easier slicing. Arrange in a bowl or on a platter with the olives and oregano leaves. Take the lemons, zest one of them, then peel the other, and thinly slice the peel into pretty wisps - be sure to trim any pith from the peel. Sprinkle the lemon across the platter before drizzling with the olive oil and finishing with lots of freshly ground pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serves 4 as a side.
