Summer salad with feta and greens
4 servings
15 minutes
Summer salad with feta and greens is a fresh, light, and aromatic culinary masterpiece inspired by Filipino traditions. Feta, with its rich, slightly salty flavor, pairs perfectly with crunchy cucumbers, spicy radishes, and fragrant herbs. Mint adds a special freshness with light citrus notes that are beautifully complemented by lemon juice. Dressed with sour cream or a tangy oil-vinegar mix, this salad can be a delicate treat for kids or a vibrant dish for adults. It works well as a side for meat or fish and as a standalone dish for a light summer lunch. The combination of the cheese's softness and the vegetables' crunch makes it an essential element of the summer menu that delights the eye and palate.
