Peel ½ medium onion and clean the vegetables. You can also peel the cucumber if desired. Finely chop the onion. Cut ½ English cucumber, 3 medium tomatoes, and ½ banana pepper into small cubes, about ¼ inch in size.
Mix briefly and arrange the salad in a bowl. Drizzle with ½ Tablespoon sunflower oil and 1 Tablespoon vinegar.
Top with 2 ounces feta-style cheese (crumbled) and serve.

Notes

SERVING:
Tip for serving:
The basic recipe makes 1 portion. If you want to increase the yield, simply multiply the ingredients by the number of portions you need.
SERVING: Serve the Šopský salát as a side dish to a main meal or as a light meal on its own. If you like, chill it in the fridge, but take it out and let it sit on the kitchen counter for a while before serving.
Tip for serving: Place vinegar and oil next to the salad bowl so that everyone can season it to their taste.
If there is any salad leftover, store it covered in the fridge. I recommend eating it within two days; otherwise, the vegetables will soften and lose their fresh, crunchy texture.
If you're wondering what cheese to use for Šopský salát, I recommend Feta cheese as a safe bet. The cheese is quite salty, so there's no need to add additional salt to the salad.
