Marinated Feta
This is a very flexible recipe. If you don't have green olives, just double the amount of kalamata olives. You can also add diced, roasted red bell peppers. If using dried oregano, feel free to add some fresh minced italian parsley and/or mint. If you've never used sumac it's a wonderful spice with a slightly lemony flavor.
