Tomato and Feta Cheese Salad Recipe

Tomato and Feta Cheese Salad Recipe,  Sweet sun-ripened tomatoes are rarely more delicious than when served with feta cheese and olive oil. This salad, popular in Greece and Turkey, is enjoyed as a light meal with pieces of crispy bread.  Feta cheese has a strong flavour and can be salty, so in this recipe we do not need any salt.

Serves 4

• 2lb. tomatoes
  
• 7oz. feta cheese
• ½ cup olive oil, preferably Greek
• 12 black olives
• 4 sprigs fresh basil
• Black pepper

• Remove the tough cores from the tomatoes with small knife.
• Slice the tomatoes thickly and arrange in a shallow dish.
• Crumble the cheese over the tomatoes, sprinkle over the olives and fresh basil.
• Season with freshly ground black pepper and serve at room temperature.
