Feta cheese is a great addition to these healthy dinner recipes. This salty and tangy cheese pairs well with proteins like chicken and turkey, but is equally delicious on top of a baked potato or eggs. Recipes with feta cheese—like our Greek Turkey Burgers with Spinach, Feta & Tzatziki and Roasted Eggplant Pasta—are flavorful, nutritious and a perfect choice for tonight’s menu.

Socca (pronounced SO-kah), also known as farinata in Italy, is a thin chickpea crêpe that we use as a sort of gluten-free pizza crust in this healthy recipe.

Grilled salmon always plays well with a fresh, bright summertime salad. The tender, flaky salmon counters the crunchy cucumber salad while the rich fillet balances the saltiness of feta and the tang of the salad dressing. Serve the salmon warm or cold (your choice!) and pair the meal with a slice of crusty bread and a glass of wine. Source: EatingWell.com, October 2019

And it doesn't even need the oven! Easily doubled, this makes a great appetizer or light dinner. Source: EatingWell.com, November 2017

Anchor Bay Mussels with Tomatoes & Feta

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This simple and delicious mussels recipe is restaurant-worthy. Just make sure you clean your mussels well before cooking: Give them a rinse under cold running water and use a brush to remove any barnacles or grit from the shell. Discard mussels with broken shells or those whose shells remain open after you tap them lightly. Pull off any fibrous "beard" that may be pinched between the shells. Source: EatingWell Magazine, March 2019

Air-Fryer Greek Turkey Burgers

Sharp raw garlic, fresh herbs and tangy feta cheese superbly flavor these turkey burgers.
