Equipment
- 1 medium bowl
Ingredients
- 450 gr cherry tomatoes red or mixed ( or 5 large tomatoes)
- 1 medium red onion small-diced
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- ⅓ large cucumber or 3 small ones, sliced
- 2 tablespoon white wine or balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 100 gr feta cheese cubed
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Start by halving the cherry tomatoes, and for the larger ones, cut them into six pieces. Toss them into a spacious bowl—this is where all the magic happens!450 gr cherry tomatoes
- Next, finely chop a red onion and dice up a bell pepper and cucumber. Cube some feta cheese (you can also crumble it if you prefer) and add all of these ingredients to the bowl with the tomatoes. Drizzle in some vinegar and olive oil, then give everything a good stir to combine the flavors.1 medium red onion, 1 bell pepper, ⅓ large cucumber , 2 tablespoon white wine , 100 gr feta cheese, 2 tablespoon olive oil
- Gently fold the ingredients together until they’re nicely mixed. If you feel it needs a little extra flavor, adjust the seasoning with salt. I usually find that the saltiness from the feta cheese is just right, but it’s always good to taste as you go!salt
- Serve the salad at room temperature for the best experience, and get ready to enjoy a burst of fresh flavors in every bite!

Notes
- Choose ripe tomatoes for the best flavour. Let large tomatoes sit outside until they’re ripe for maximum taste.
- Swap feta cheese for vegan feta or cubed tofu. Tofu adds creaminess and protein, and you can also use avocado for a tasty twist!
- Cut the vegetables into similar sizes for an even mix. This not only looks nice but helps flavours blend well.
- For a heartier salad, add chickpeas or black beans for extra nutrition.
- Feel free to add radishes, and olives, or use lemon juice instead of vinegar for a zesty kick.
