GLENVIEW, Ill., July 21 There is a smarter and more flavor-packed option when topping salads this season! ATHENOS has named July "Summer Salad Month" because summer is when produce is at its peak and people are more inclined to eat lighter meals, like salads. This "Summer Salad Month," ATHENOS is providing people with the facts: Make a simple change by topping a salad with ATHENOS Feta instead of cheddar and consume one-third less fat and 30 percent fewer calories without sacrificing flavor.

Supported by a print advertisement campaign launched in May, the Mediterranean brand asked people across the country to Make a Change for the Feta. This July, a group of 10 leading food and health bloggers will collectively save thousands of calories just by making the change from cheddar to ATHENOS Feta on top of their salads every day of the month. The ATHENOS Feta spokesbloggers will motivate their readers to make simple smart changes during "Summer Salad Month" and show them just how easy it is to eat delicious and flavorful meals.
