Fast and easy to make, this can be used as a main dish, side dish, or even a snack. Please use the 'real deal' Greek feta; it will add so much more flavor!

This was my first attempt so I didn't change anything. The feta threw me off a bit but it tastes pretty good. I like walnuts and dried cranberries which definitely gives it a nutty and sweet flavor. I would make it again. Read More

This makes a great addition to my lunch box. 1/2 cup is 245 calories. I think I'll try it with apple next week instead of cranberry just to mix things up. Read More

Utilizing what was in the pantry (pumpkin seeds and dried cherries) we followed the recipe. Minus the feta we used it to stuff/bake acorn squash. Leftovers as a salad WITH feta. Absolute hit. Into the repertoire! Read More
