Tomato Basil and Feta Cheese Salad
by Tarla Dalal
Cheese and tomatoes always get along very well together because of their contrasting textures and flavours. The soft but earthy flavour of cheese complements the tang of tomatoes, and they bring out the best of each other.
In this amazing salad, the duo is enhanced further by the addition of basil, which gives a classic herby touch. Other ingredients like vinegar are added in apt proportions to balance the flavour perfectly.
Toss the Tomato Basil and Feta Cheese Salad just before serving. Try other recipes with feta cheese like Barley Feta and Spinach Salad or Baked Herbed Feta Cheese Served with Bread .
