Shopska Salad

The name of this salad comes from its main ingredient, feta cheese. Without the feta, there is no “shopska” and you won’t experience the incredible taste.

2 medium salad potatoes
1/3 cup (83 mL) cold-pressed sunflower seed oil
1/4 cup (63 mL) white wine vinegar
1 tsp (5 mL) freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
1 tsp (5 mL) dried mustard
1 large red bell pepper, cut in 1 inch (2.5 cm) diamond shapes
1 medium red onion, cut in 1 inch (2.5 cm) diamond shapes
1 large English cucumber, cut in 1 inch (2.5 cm) chunks
4 small firm tomatoes, cut in 1 inch (2.5 cm) chunks
2/3 cup (167 mL) cubed feta cheese
2 Tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh parsley
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Pell, boil and slice the potatoes. In a large bowl, add oil, vinegar, lemon juice and mustard. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture becomes emulsified. Add the ramaining ingradients and the potato and mix thoroughly. Serves two.
