There is this show on NDTV- Goodtimes ( a new TV channel launched in India, which is a joint venture of NDTV and Kingfisher...its a lifestyle channel and has all travel n cookery shows) called " Cooking isnt rocket science"...somehow the name of the show was very catchy and i decided to watch it...it was like any other cookery show on TV..but i loved all the recipes shown on it so far... one such was a salad.. oops..i forgot the name of the salad...but that doesnt matter, does it? what matters is that the salad sounded really yummy n i decided to try it out... i had some difficulty in getting Feta cheese, but finally got it today from Nilgiri's...

Ingredients:

Tomatoes - 2 medium sized ones
Feta cheese - one medium block or as per your need, ( one good thing about making salad is that there is no one proportion of ingredients to be followed...you can mix n match as per your liking) Lettuce

For the dressing : olive oil, black pepper powder, juice of half a lemon, salt, some mixed herbs, fresh basil leaves.

Chop the tomatoes, cut the cheese into bite size pieces and add to the lettuce leaves in a bowl. In a seperate bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing and add to the salad. Toss till well coated n njoi a crispy salad...

Some facts about Feta cheese :

In Greek cuisine, Feta is a curd cheese in brine. It is traditionally made from goat's and/or sheep's milk. It is commonly produced in blocks, and has a slightly grainy texture. It is used as a table cheese, as well as in salads and in baking.Feta is salted and cured in a brine solution (which can be either water or whey) for several months. Feta is also an important ingredient of Greek salad. Feta, like most cheeses, can also be served cooked; it is sometimes grilled as part of a sandwich or as a salty alternative to other cheeses in a variety of dishes.
