Festive Feta-Cheese Salad

It's the Friday before the Christmas Holidays officially begin, and now is the time to whip out our best recipes in preparation for guests coming in and out. This recipe, like a lot of my recipes, was shown to me by my mother. She is seriously so talented when it comes to flavours and making things taste good. She makes it at every special occasion, and it is a hit every single time.

This dish brings only fresh, whole ingredients together, and the taste is very unique. Even vegetarians would have a hard time saying no to this. Now I know how I said this salad is holiday-appropriate, but really, it's perfect for for any occasion, any season, like the summer at a nice BBQ.

Now without further delay, here is the recipe!

Festive Feta-Cheese Salad

Ingredients:

• round, 9-inch serving plate;
• 500g feta cheese, drained, rinsed and cut into small cubes;
• 2 medium tomatoes, cut into small cubes;
• 6 scallions, chopped;
• 2-3 tbsp dried oregano;
• 1¹⁄2 tbsps chilli; and
• olive oil.

Directions:

1. Spread the feta cheese evenly to create the first layer of this salad.
2. Add the tomatoes to make the second layer, then the scallions for the third.
3. Then add the oregano and chilli, and add enough olive oil so that it seeps through to the bottom. Don't be shy.
4. Let sit in the fridge for at least half an hour before serving so that the ingredients have a chance to marinate.
5. Serve!
