Baked Feta with Chimichurri Sauce

(This photo is before I baked it)
So pretty and easy to make ahead, it's a satisfying combination of creaminess, acidity,  and sweetness. It's perfect spooned over slices of fresh bread, or crackers.

You could also do this in a foil packet and do it on the BBQ or a campfire when camping.

NOTE- The chimichurri sauce makes more than you need, but add a squueze of lemon, or lime, and serve over grilled meat.  Delicious.  Or, add it to a pasta salad with some other veggies.

NOTE NOTE- You could also add other things onto top of your feta too. Capers, red onions, fresh oregano, tomato puree... what sounds good to you?
