Give your dish a little extra color by using fresh yellow tomatoes instead of red. Feta cheese can be found in different flavors including garlic and herb or peppercorn. Try one of these to give your side dish an extra kick. If feta cheese isn’t one of your favorites substitute crumbled blue cheese instead.
