1 lb. feta cheese, cubes
1/2 C. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. finely minced green bell pepper
2 Tbsp. finely minced red bell pepper
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley or 1 tsp. dried parsley
2 tsp. fresh rosemary or 1 tsp. dried rosemary
1 tsp. peppercorns
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Whisk together all ingredients except cheese until well blended. Place cheese cubes in clean, dry glass jar with tight fitting lid. Pour marinade over cheese. Cover tightly and refrigerate several hr. or even several days. Flip jar upside-down occasionally to make sure all cheese gets marinated.

Serve with bread, toasted baguette slices, crackers, fruit or vegetables if desired. Cheese may be replenished in remaining marinade or vinaigrette dressing may be made by adding vinegar to jar. Shake well before servings.
