My Health Journey

I always liked feta cheese with slices of cucumber, so was surprised when a friend of mine served it with avocados instead. I loved it, and that flavor has since grown on me. Quick and easy breakfast meal. Feta cheese and avocado, with arugula and dried (Moroccan) black olives.

Feta cheese and (pita) bread, served alongside olives, pickles, and whatever raw veggies are available, makes a common breakfast in the Eastern Mediterranean. Rather than the traditional sandwich, or mezza (small dishes), this morning I combined my veggies (cucumber, tomatoes, avocado, and arugula) and chunks of feta into a salad, dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, served alongside a bit of bread and feta. This helps my wheat allergy by reducing the ratio of bread in my meal. Eastern Mediterranean Breakfast Salad
