Equipments used:
Notes
- ach about 6 inches/ 15 cm long.
- Tomatoes: I used one about 12.5 oz/ 350 g, but 2-3 regular tomatoes work too. Just make sure they’re ripe and sweet - unripe ones would ruin the salad.
- Cucumber: Each about 6 inches/ 15 cm long. You can use a regular long cucumber, but remove the seeds unless serving immediately, as they can make the salad watery over time.
- Feta: Preferably use Bulgarian or Balkan-style sirene (brined white cheese), but a creamy, tasty feta works too.
