Feta + fruits = a fresh and original combo to test without delay for summer salads
If there is a cheese that pairs wonderfully with fruits in a salad, it is feta. Slightly salty, it counters the natural sweetness of fruits like strawberries, watermelon, peaches, or even melon. It is ideal for refreshing in summer with ease but with plenty of indulgence! We always opt for a light vinaigrette with just olive oil, a little vinegar (optional), and perhaps a splash of lemon juice for acidity. Get ready to enjoy original and tasty sweet-and-savoury salads this summer!
