Roasted Feta, Cucumber & Cherry Tomato Salad
Who knew that a block of feta could turn into a warm, delicious treat in just 10 minutes? The roasted feta sits perfectly on a bed of fresh cucumber, juicy cherry tomatoes, and bright lemony herbs. It’s salty, fresh, and just the right balance of warm and cool, like summer on a plate. Perfect for a light meal or as a side to your favourite grilled dishes.
