Ingredients:

– 2 blocks (7 oz/200 g each) of feta cheese

– 1/2 cup (120 ml) avocado oil

– 3 tbsp fresh orange juice

– 1 tbsp finely grated orange zest

– 1 tbsp finely chopped green olives

– 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint

– 2 tsp agave syrup

– 1 heaped tsp smoked paprika

– 1 tsp crushed black pepper

– 1/2 tsp ground cumin

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, orange juice, agave syrup, orange zest, green olives, mint, smoked paprika, crushed black pepper, and ground cumin until well blended.

2. Pat the feta dry with a paper towel, then cut it into small bite-sized cubes.

3. In a large shallow dish, spread a few spoonfuls of the marinade at the bottom. Place the feta cubes on top of the marinade.

4. Pour the remaining marinade over the feta, ensuring all the cubes are well coated.

5. Cover the dish and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours. For the best flavor, let it sit for 4 hours or longer. Occasionally stir or gently toss the feta to keep it coated in the marinade.

6. Before serving, bring the marinated feta to room temperature to enhance the flavors and loosen the marinade.
