  • Why do I like it?

The almond feta is tart, tangy and so similar to dairy feta cheese.  There are so many uses for this cheese.  As a spread on crackers, on pasta or just about anywhere you would use feta.  It has a soft consistency so keep that in mind if you swap it for cubed or grated feta.

I was making salad one night and wanted to use the warm dates.  I happened to have the almond feta in the fridge and decided to put the two together.  Instead of dressing, I simply squeezed fresh lemon over the salad.

  • Any recipe notes or tweaks?

I made a few adjustments to the almond feta:

Omitted the herb olive oil drizzle on the top.

Baked in a glass baking dish or large ramekin at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.
