Cyprus Tomato Salad
4 servings
10 minutes
A close relative of the Italian Caprese, but with its own character. Along with tomatoes, it is defined by salted feta, dry oregano and - timpani ringing - sesame oil, which gives the salad a baked note and a nutty flavor. Traditionally, the salad is laid out on a plate in layers, tomatoes - at the bottom, cheese - on top, so that it is easy to pick up the whole pyramid with a fork. But you can do without unnecessary ceremony and crumble the salad into a camping bowl, this will not change the taste.
