Lunch with Hermes. Hermes is the God known as The Messenger, described as a trickster among other traits! The trick in this dish…vegan feta. I was called a liar (ahem) the first time I served it with this amazing vegan feta!
I love this dish for many reasons, including…pretty easy to make, delicious, and very easy to pack for lunch because it tastes best at room temperature. And, a couple of optional additional ingredients take it to just another level of yum. Enjoy!
