As I was reading reviews on this recipe (on All Recipes) prior to posting it, I came across one that suggested removing the feta and replacing it with corn and black beans (because it would be so much better!). WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? HOW…DARE… THEY… (I call this my recipe rage) suggest something so absurd! Did someone miss the title? It’s called avocado feta salsa for a reason. Because it’s all about the feta!!! It’s the star, the special ingredient that makes this so sinfully good. So, dear absurd All Recipes reader, go stick your opinionated nose elsewhere if you want a corn, black bean, and tomato salsa. You’ve clearly missed the point. I came here for feta salsa, and that’s what I’m gonna get!
Phew, I’m glad I got that off my chest! Some people are so unreasonable (and I wonder if not somewhat mental). Because feta, Greek king of cheeses, is pungent, it’s bold, it’s fantastic. It goes exceptionally well with avocado which is mellow and mild. The other ingredients in this salsa are meant to accessorize. They bring the taste together. Serve it with with pita or tortilla chips, raw veggies for dunking, or on top of a taco. I don’t care how you eat it, just keep you corn and black beans out of sight!
