This brings the best of everything mediterranean into one big-ass bowl.
The tartness of the tomatoes is complemented with the milky saltiness of the feta cheese and enhanced with the smokiness of the olives and sundried tomatoes.
You can use ready made italian dressing or any of your favourites. But if you have time, home made dressing is always the yummiest.
Here's what you need for 8 people:
- 10 - 12 ripe roma tomatoes
- 10 basil leaves, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup olives
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, thinly sliced - 1 block greek feta cheese, cubed
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp Italian herb mix (Chop or pound basil, oregano, thyme and parsley into a superfine mix, almost resembling a paste. Alternatively, you can buy the paste in tubes at Cold Storage.)
To make dressing, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, tomato paste and Italian herbs until emulsified. If you don't have a wire whisk, shaking the ingredients in a jar with a screw-on cap works just as well.
Toss all the ingredients in a large bowl, pour on the dressing and mix well with your hands.
That's pretty much it. Hassle-free and utterly deliciouso!
