Fetaxa cheese has an ancient history. They began to cook it during the time of the Byzantine Empire and continue to this day. The technology for its production is very simple: first, milk is heated in the sun to 35 degrees. Then the milk should be curdled, separating into whey and thick. It is the thick that is used to make cheese, transferring it to separate bags and hanging it in a basket in the barn. After a while, this curd lump hardens and turns into cheese.

In addition to Greece, fetax is common in Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey and Egypt. V different countries the technology varies slightly, however, the end product is similar.

How to make Greek salad with fetaxa

1 ... Wash cucumbers, dry with a towel, cut into wedges or slices. For Greek salad, vegetables are cut quite large.

2. Tomatoes also need to be washed, dried and stalks removed. Cut into slices. If you have ripe sweet tomatoes from the garden, this will be the best option for Greek salad. In winter, it is best to use cherry tomatoes. Do not cook this dish from tasteless "rubber" tomatoes.

3 ... Onions are best taken white salad or red. Traditional yellow onions are harsh and not suitable for Greek salad with fetaxa. As a last resort, if there are no sweet onions available, pour boiling water over the yellow onions to remove the bitterness.


4 ... Cut the Fetaxa cheese into cubes and add to the dish. This must be done before serving. Although traditionally Greek salad is served unmixed, cheese is laid out on top and lemon and olive oil are served separately. V this recipe we will prepare the dressing for the greek salad.

5. Cut olives in half or add whole.

Dressing for greek salad prepare at the rate of 2/1. 2 parts olive oil + 1 part lemon juice. If desired, you can add spices: salt, black pepper, oregano, rosemary and garlic.
