How to make the tomato relish
This tomato relish is Mediterranean inspired and calls for fresh herbs such as chives, parsley and/or green onions. Using all those herbs is perfectly fine or you can choose one. Dice up tomatoes and place into a bowl, add the herbs, feta cheese, plus the fresh herbs and toss. I used Chives for this recipe. Finally, add salt and pepper to taste.

This is so good. Was super easy to make. I served it with a wild rice and grilled zucchini. It was almost better left over! Thanks for sharing. I will be making this a lot.
Rena says
Perfect. Glad it worked for you.
Karen says
I angel butterflies my breaststroke and added some paprika and cayenne for a more spicy recipe. This uplifted the recipe as its too bland.
Also on method perhaps include mix in pan as straight to bag is misleading.
Where did the 3rd teaspoon of olive oil come from?
Needs a careful review of editing and ingredients.
Rena says
Hi Karen. Those instructions are already no there. Sorry you missed them. The 3rd spoon of olive oil in step 4
James says
Delicious. Used a bit more feta than in the recipe which really held the tomato together and worked very well.
I’ll be having this regularly I think!
