Roasting feta with honey and olive oil adds a new dimension to this traditional village salad.

Ingredients

500g feta
¼ cup honey
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 Lebanese cucumbers, sliced
500g tomatoes, chopped
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried mint
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
4 small pita bread, toasted

Method

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200C fan-forced (220C conventional). Line a baking tray with nonstick baking paper.
Step 2
Mix the honey and olive oil together in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pat the feta dry, place on the prepared tray and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the honey mixture. Place the tray in the oven and roast the feta for 15 minutes, or until golden.
Step 3
Meanwhile, combine the cucumber, tomato, onion, oregano, mint and the remaining honey and olive oil mixture in a large serving bowl. Add the vinegar and toss to combine.
Step 4
Top the salad with the honey-baked feta, and serve with toasted pita bread.
