Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 stalks spring onions (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut them into bite-sized wedges or slices, depending on your preference, and arrange them on a serving plate.
Crumble the feta cheese evenly over the tomatoes. If you'd prefer a more uniform presentation, you can slice the feta into thin pieces instead of crumbling.
Dice the spring onions finely, if using, and sprinkle them over the tomatoes and cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and white vinegar. Drizzle this dressing evenly over the salad.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper to taste. Note that feta cheese is naturally salty, so start with a small amount of salt and adjust as needed.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and scatter it over the top to garnish.
Serve the salad immediately, either as a standalone appetizer, a refreshing side dish, or as part of a mezze platter.
