Notes
Substitute the Greek feta for your favourite vegan feta cheese for a vegan recipe.
If you don’t have red wine vinegar, try lemon juice as a substitute in the dressing.
Select quality cucumbers, bell peppers and ripe tomatoes for the recipe. There is no hiding in the recipe. The freshest ingredients will make a difference.
Ensure you also have a good quality extra virgin olive oil. The sharp peppery flavours will help enhance the sweetness of the vegetables.
Make sure you cut the vegetables into similar sizes, so the flavours mellow together well.
I prefer to keep my feta in large chunks. Crumbled feta has a very creamy texture, and this can overwhelm the salad when tossed together.
