I absolutely love this dish. I have made it as directed in this recipe and served it with pita bread, but I have also made it as a sauce to spoon over fish. In that case I cut the feta up in bite size pieces. It is delicious over swordfish or cod. I would think, any fish without a very strong taste. Tilapia would be good, too. Whereas, I don’t think I would serve it with salmon. A little lemon squeeze over it all adds to the delicious taste. Its so easy and quick, yet adds so much interest to a meal.
Fabulous! This recipe is now a constant at our home – appetizer for a group or dinner for a couple of us!! I don’t change a thing. I’ve made it with in-season tomatoes and with store-bought tomatoes and both work well. My only word of advice is to find a high quality feta, because it really is the star of the recipe.

I have made this exactly as written and it’s amazingly good! I’ve also done it with provolone and it’s equally delicious. It’s a wonderful appetizer and I always get rave reviews.
My new go-to appetizer to make for company! It’s so easy and yet beautiful and delicious!
This recipe is a Wow! Its easy to prepare, tastes fantastic and looks so festive, (especially if you use red and yellow cherry tomatoes), everyone assumes it was a lot more work than it is! I have made this countless times this summer using cherry tomatoes from our garden and we’re not tired of it yet!
My go to recipe for an easy delicious appetizer or quick vegetarian dish. Even good the next day reheated.
Made this delicious and easy recipe tonight. I made it exactly as described with no substitutions and served it with fresh sliced baguette. Everyone loved it. I loved how beautiful and colorful it looked when done and it was a crowd pleaser.
This is the best recipe in the world! My husband and I love it. We’ve made it our dinner several times during our extra warm Seattle summer. Thank you.
This has become my go to brunch staple (along with the kale and brussel sprout salad) for a while now. And it is a hit every time. I always follow the recipe faithfully, and add warm pita bread to scoop up all the deliciousness.
