Hard Cheese - 5.3 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Wash the lettuce leaves and soak them in ice water to keep them crispy for longer. Wash the cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell pepper, and cut them into cubes. Peel the salad onion and slice it into thin half-rings. Cut the feta cheese into cubes as well. Chop the herbs finely; cilantro or parsley works great. Mix everything together and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the hard cheese into sticks. Mix the corn flour with the dried garlic. Beat the egg. Heat vegetable oil in a pan. Coat each piece of cheese in the garlic-flour mixture, dip it in the egg, coat it in breadcrumbs, and fry in the oil until golden brown.

Step 3

Serve the salad. Arrange the green leaves on a plate. Dress the salad with olive oil, drizzle with lemon juice, season with pepper to taste, and place it on the lettuce leaves. Garnish with olives and surround it with the fried cheese.
