Czech Shopska Salad
Report
A refreshing summer salad made with tomatoes, banana peppers, cucumbers, and onions, seasoned with vinegar and oil, and topped with feta-style cheese. Known in the Czech Republic as Šopský salát.

Ingredients
- ½ English cucumber (or any seedless fresh cucumber)
- 3 medium tomato ripe
- ½ banana pepper (or any sweet yellow/white/green pepper)
- ½ medium onion peeled and finely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon vinegar 5% acidity
- ½ Tablespoon sunflower oil (or canola / olive oil)
- 2 ounces feta cheese Feta, Sirene, style
Instructions
- 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.
