Pine Nut and Feta Stuffed Mini Sweet Peppers
This is a sweet and salty appetizer which is beautiful and healthy. Pine nuts are crunchy, sweet and delicious. And they are a source of essential minerals, vitamins and mono-unsaturated fatty acids which helps in lowering the cholesterol levels. Feta is a brined curd white cheese. It has a creamy texture. It tastes tangy, slightly salty, mildly sour and with a hint of sweetness.
