Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups multi-colored cherry tomatoes
1 cup roasted red peppers, drained and diced
1/2 cup halved kalamata olives
3 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This will ensure that your spread has the best possible flavor.
  • Choose high-quality feta cheese: This will also make a big difference in the flavor of your spread.
  • Don't over-chop the ingredients: You want them to retain some texture.
