How to make Tomato Feta Salad?
- Start by washing tomatoes. Slice each in half.
- Slice feta cheese into cubes.
- Make the dressing: mix all ingredients in a glass measuring cup and whisk well.
- Place tomatoes and cheese in a mixing bowl and add dressing. Toss to coat.
- Serve or chill in the fridge.
Tomato Feta Salad dressing:
I used my go-to homemade Italian dressing recipe, made with:
- olive oil,
- lemon juice (instead of vinegar),
- garlic,
- touch of honey
- herbs and spices.
It’s quick and easy to make and absolutely perfect with plump cherry tomatoes and creamy feta cheese.
Storing:
Any leftovers should be stored in the fridge since the salad contains cheese. It will keep well for up to 4 days.
What else can I add to this salad?
This salad is delicious on its own but you can also use it as a base and add many other ingredients, like croutons, onions, olives, greens (lettuce, kale, spinach, etc.), grilled chicken or shrimp, even berries and nuts!
Can I use store-bought dressing?
You can use any dressing you like, but I highly recommend making your own. My recipe for Italian Dressing calls for simple ingredients, that most likely are already in your pantry.
