Categories     Salad

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tomatoes (medium, diced)
1 cucumber (large, peeled, diced)
1 yellow onion (medium, peeled, sliced thinly)
1 red bell pepper (cored, cut into strips)
1 yellow banana pepper (cored, cut into strips, sub with yellow bell pepper)
6 teaspoons oil (vegetable or olive)
2 teaspoons lemon juice (or vinegar)
1-2 teaspoons parsley (seasoning, or minced if fresh)
Salt and pepper to taste
8-10 ounces cheese (grated if feta, gouda or similar; no need to grate if using soft cheese like goat)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl combine all salad ingredients by layering them on top of each other. (If making a vinaigrette go to step 2. If skipping it, add salt and pepper to taste and then mix all ingredients. Then go to step 3.)
  • (Optional) In a small bowl combine all vinaigrette ingredients. Using a whisk or a fork with quick hand movements whisk all ingredients until they integrate. (While you're whisking try the dressing and adjust seasonings to your liking.) Pour the vinaigrette over the salad. Mix everything thoroughly until vinaigrette is evenly distributed over the salad.
  • Top with cheese. (You can serve Shopska salad and then top it with cheese or top the salad with cheese in the main salad bowl, and then serve.)
