Preparing Feta for Tabbouleh

"AMY STAGGS: Hi, my name is Amy Staggs and on behalf of Expert Village, here is my recipe for Tabbouleh. The next step in preparing Tabbouleh is adding the feta cheese. You're going to want to use a total of about--hmm, a third of a cup. And the reason that I insist on feta and nothing else, no mozzarella, no cheddar, no other cheese, for several reasons. Number one, this is one of the lower fat cheeses so this is what keeps it a very healthful dish. Whoops, ah that happens. The other reason, the taste, it's again, its so signature to it being a Greek dish. If you add something like cheddar or mozzarella, it's not going to look right, it's not going to--even sound right. Here's some Tabbouleh with cheddar cheese. And it adds a nice look, nothing like feta. So there we go, feta is your next step in preparing Tabbouleh."
