Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Wash the fresh tomatoes thoroughly, then chop them into small cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Chop the Basil

    Rinse the fresh basil leaves under cold water and pat them dry. Tear the leaves into smaller pieces and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Add the minced garlic to the tomato and basil mixture.

Mixing and Seasoning

  1. 4

    Add Olive Oil and Seasonings

    Pour the olive oil over the tomato mixture. Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, and mix everything gently until well combined.

  2. 5

    Prepare Red Onion

    Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Add the slices to the bowl and mix gently to incorporate.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Feta Cheese

    Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and mix gently to avoid breaking the cheese too much.

  4. 7

    Finish with Balsamic Vinegar

    Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the salad and give it one last gentle toss to combine all ingredients.
