Athenos Change for the Feta Program

After a solid 4 weeks of the Athenos Change for the Feta program, I am sad to say I have completed it! It was a fun month only slightly filled with more feta salads than usual. Feta has been a staple in our salads (along with avocado- yum!) for at least a year.

Prior to meeting PB, I disliked both feta and avocado!

Luckily I smartened up and learned to love them both- and you will almost always find one of the two ingredients in my daily salad! To be clear, I do not always 100% buy Athenos brand feta, but I alternate between Athenos and another brand, based on what my market has. Unfortunately (fortunately?), it seems as though they often run out of Athenos!

I can understand why.

If you want to add some spunk to your next salad, consider adding one of the following ingredients:

• Feta, obviously
• Avocado
• Crushed smoked almonds: They have the smoky flavor of bacon… without the animal. My favorite brand is Blue Diamond, which they sell at almost all markets.
• Fresh basil or mint
• A simple and fabulous salad dressing of lemon juice, kosher salt, feta and olive oil

Thank you all for supporting me in the Athenos Change for the Feta program. I really enjoyed sharing my creations with you, and I hope you were inspired to eat more salads this month!

Here are some of my favorite salads from the month:

• Deconstructed Healthy Spanakopita (!!!!)
