Marinated Feta salad image

Veeeery tasty salad that I invented myself in one of my few cooking creative moments. We love it at home with homemade pita bread and I use to make it for our guests in the summer. They always get second servings. My suggestion: use a very small garlic clove :-)

Time 2h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

200 g feta cheese
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 pinch white pepper
2 tablespoons vinegar
3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
4 ripe tomatoes (tennis ball size)
15 -20 black olives
1 romaine lettuce
some fresh parsley leaves
salt

Steps:

  • Cut the Feta cheese block in cubes, about 2x2 cmm (little bit less than 1x1 inch) and put it in a little bowl (something like a breakfast bowl).
  • Press the garlic clove with a garlic press over the cheese (or cut in veeery small bits).
  • Pour in the oregano, basil and pepper and mix well.
  • The cheese should end up coated in herbs and garlic.
  • pour 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of vinegar and all the olive oil over the cheese, and mix carefully to avoid the cheese to crumble.
  • Let stand about 2 hours, mixing every 30 minutes for the olive oil to coat the cheese.
  • Wash the tomatoes, the lettuce and the persil and cut the tomatoes in 8 bits and the lettuce leaves in stripes about 2 inches wide.
  • In a salad bowl, mix tomatoes and lettuce with salt (not too much: the cheese is quite salty) and 1/2 tablespoon vinegar, and add black olives.
  • Add the cheese mix, drained, and decorate with parsley leaves.
