Nutrition Notes
Are Tomatoes Good for You?
Tomatoesare an excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of vitamin K and potassium. They’re also loaded with several different types of antioxidants that support heart, skin and eye health.
Is Feta Healthy?
While not one of the healthiest types of cheese—partlydue to its sodium content—feta can still be enjoyed in moderation. It offers several nutrients in small amounts and is a good source of vitamin B12. Because it is a more pungent cheese, you can use less of it to enjoy its flavor without getting too much sodium.
Tips from the Test Kitchen
Can I Use Dried Herbs Instead of Fresh?
Absolutely. Dried herbs are much stronger than fresh, so you will use much less. The rule of thumb is a 3-to-1 ratio of fresh to dry. What that means in this recipe is that for 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano, you would use 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. For 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, you’re looking at 1/3 teaspoon dried rosemary (roughly 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon rosemary). We suggest carefully following the recipe; you can always gradually add more dried herbs to taste after assembling.
How Should I Store Leftovers?
If you have leftover Baked Feta and Olive Dip, refrigerate it in an airtight container. It should be good for about five days.
