These days it’s all about eating simply. Dashing between work and class, there are at least two days a week that I eat all three of my meals on the go. Class doesn’t let out until 10:30 pm, and if I get out a little early I try to pop in Whole Foods to pick up some food since it’s on my way to the subway.
The other day I was in Whole Foods, picking up an orange, pumpkin muffins with actual pumpkin seeds on the tops (double yum!), and soup mix (cut-up fresh veggies that I actually use for stir-fry not soup), when I saw something new: feta salsa.
I eat a lot of pita and hummus and pita and tabouli. I haven’t gotten sick of it yet, but the idea of something new to put on my pita got my attention. Unfortunately, I couldn’t justify the price. It was about $3 more than the hummus. That might not sound like a lot, but I could buy three Wet ‘n Wild nail polishes for that price or stamps to mail a handwritten letter to a friend. So, I was quite thrilled when I stumbled upon this feta salsa recipe from Smitten Kitchen.
I’m figuring I could make a batch of it on a Sunday and eat it all week long for lunch.
Feta is one of those cheeses that I love and that makes me feel homesick/festive (my family always ate it at holidays), but that I never really purchase on my own. I’m not quite sure why. Maybe because it’s such a distinctive cheese. I do enjoy it, though, and this feta salsa recipe is a great way to jazz up my lunches.
If you have any tips on quick lunches, leave it in the comments section below.
