Ina Garten's Tomato and Feta Salad
Sweet, ripe tomatoes and salty, bright feta cheese play together beautifully in this simple summer salad. It comes together quickly and can be prepared in advance, which makes it ideal for easy entertaining. There are several kinds of feta available, but I prefer Greek feta; it\'s a little dry and has lots of flavor. Bulgarian feta tends to be a bit saltier and French feta is milder, but they\'re all delicious, so you can certainly use whatever you like.
