Feta Cheese taste test in Pricewatch

Conor Pope taste tests Feta Cheese in Pricewatch today, with the varieties from M&S and Aldi coming in as the highest scorers.  Feta is one of my favourite things, and I have Greek Salad at least once a week.  By far the best feta I’ve ever had comes from Camden Halal in Camden St, where you can buy a huge block from their deli counter for about €1.30.  It’ll keep for nearly a week in your fridge if you seal it in an airproof container.

Greek Salad

Boy oh boy do I love Greek salad. I usually leave out the black olives as I think the simple feta, cucumber and tomato combination works really well, but the classic version would include them.

Ingredients

• 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
• ¼ cucumber, cut into small wedges
• 1 piece feta cheese to taste (about 50g per person if you’re unsure)
• 50g pitted black olives
• Thinly sliced red onion
• Olive oil
• Black pepper

Instructions

Put the tomatoes, olives and cucumber in a bowl. Crumble over the feta cheese and toss together.  Lay the red onion on top, pour over a tablespoon or two of olive oil, and grate a generous amount of black pepper on top.

This salad is also lovely on bruschetta, or stuffed into a toasted wholemeal pitta bread.
