SUMMER TOMATO FRESH SALAD OR BALKAN SHOPSKA SALATA!

Description of SALAD

It is very simple recipe made with fresh ingredients. And when I say simple I really mean it.

And how simple it is! Really! Fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions, parsley and the best ingredient you can imagine. The CHEESE. Yes, it is Dr. Cheese. I like to use Feta cheese or white brine cheese. You use what you have or can find it. In case you want to make your own cheese check this link – How to Make Cheese at Home – Got Milk

BTW, white brine cheese is made in the Balkans. You can find it in Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Romania. The cheese is made of the milk of goats, sheep or cows. It is crumbly and commonly produced in blocks with slightly grainy texture. It is super tasty and something you need to try. Of course, if you can’t find it use the feta cheese. (made from goats milk).

So, are you ready to make your “feel good” diet salad? I know, I am. So, let’s start shopping and getting all the ingredients under the title called…
