Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing the cherry tomatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut each cherry tomato in half and place the halves into a large salad bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Peel the red onion half and slice it thinly. Add the sliced onion to the bowl.
Take the fresh basil leaves, stack them, roll them, and slice them into thin strips (this technique is called chiffonade). Add the basil to the salad.
In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Whisk them together until well mixed.
Pour the olive oil and lemon dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper. Toss everything together gently until the ingredients are evenly distributed and coated with the dressing.
Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately as a refreshing starter or a side dish for a keto-friendly meal.
