Ingredients
-
4 black olives, finely chopped

2 fresh sage leaves, or more to taste

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 sprig fresh rosemary, or more to taste

¼ red bell pepper, finely chopped

1 tablespoon toasted sesame-ginger seasoning (such as Victoria Gourmet ®)
-
1 small pepperoncini pepper, finely sliced
-
½ tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
-
14 ounces feta cheese, cubed

½ cup olive oil

Place a layer of olives, sage, garlic, chile pepper, rosemary, bell pepper, sesame-ginger seasoning, pepperoncini pepper, and oregano into the bottom of a container. Add a layer of feta cheese. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients.

Pour olive oil into the container to cover feta mixture completely. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Cook's Notes:
Sometimes when you buy feta cheese, it happens to be very salty; that's the time when I marinate it. I use this marinated feta as a main ingredient for Greek salad or just topping on toasted baguettes, similar to bruschetta. My friends and family like it.
You can use a green or yellow bell pepper instead of red, green olives instead of black, and rapeseed oil instead of olive oil, if desired.
