Advice
Grate the cheese finely and add it only at the end, so it stays snowy on top and does not turn the salad watery.
Why it works π‘
The vegetables bring juice, crunch, sweetness, and acidity, while the salty white cheese creates contrast and turns a simple chopped salad into a complete Balkan table classic.
Twist πΆοΈ
Roast one of the peppers over a flame or under the broiler for 6β8 min, peel it, and dice it into the salad for a smoky tavern-style note.
