Name of Lebanese spread with tomato and feta? Recipes if you have them?

Question

I went to a wedding reception in a Lebanese restaurant and one of the many delicious spreads that they had was one that featured chopped tomatoes and feta. I don't know if there were any other ingredients in it, but it was fabulous. I'd love to find a recipe for it, but I don't know what it's called. If you could tell me the name of it or give me a recipe, I would really appreciate it.

You ought to go back to that restaurant and ask for its name.  The owner would be glad to tell you.  Then go on website and look for the name on www.foodtv.com or your favorite website.  It will take some time.  Now next time, if you like the food so much, never never leave a restaurant without knowing its name.  :)
