This one is a crowd-pleaser!
You can make a salad or crudites any time you want a vegetable side dish, or an appetizer. But this Greek salsa is a great choice for lunch or dinner. The Mediterranean spices used in the lemon vinaigrette give this relish a lot of flavor. This dip is hearty thanks to the creamy feta cheese.
