This recipe is a great way to use up leftover feta cheese. I had a block of feta that was starting to go bad, so I decided to try this recipe. I'm so glad I did! The marinade really revived the feta and the olives added a nice touch of flavor. I will

I'm not a huge fan of olives, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The marinade mellowed out the flavor of the olives and the feta added a nice creamy texture. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe was so easy to follow and the flavors were amazing! I marinated the feta and olives for a few hours before serving and they were so flavorful. The herbs really came through and the feta was nice and creamy.
