Instructions
- To fry the feta, heat the oil in a deep saucepan.
- Cover the feta cheese first in the flour, then in the beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. If you want a thicker, crunchier coating, repeat the egg and breadcrumb steps.
- When the oil it hot, carefully place the feta cheese in the oil and allow to fry until golden brown and crispy all over.
- Remove and allow to drain on kitchen paper.
- To assemble the salad, place all the ingredients on a large platter.
- Whisk together all the salad dressing ingredients.
- Drizzle a little honey over the feta cheese and place on the salad, dress and serve.
